Positives
- This short video shows that young people can make important discoveries and impact their society.
- The video uses graphics, research articles, and interviews to make it engaging and credible.
Prerequisites
- Students should be familiar with academic research and articles.
- Students should have an understanding of climate change and its impacts.
Differentiation & Implementation
- A possible activity is to have students look at the data from the sources that Amanda O'Lear used, and see if they come to the same conclusion.
- This video can be used as a research example, and students could do their own research to see if they can answer similar questions about climate change in their area.
