The Secret to Talking About Climate Change

• In this video, students will hear advice on how to have effective conversations about climate change. 
• The resource also includes an article about heat as a form of energy, a student worksheet, and a lesson plan to go with the video. 

Positives

• This video is probably best used as a starting point for students to begin talking to others about climate change.
• This is a great resource for virtual learning, as the lesson plan includes a Google Doc.

Additional Prerequisites

• The video is available to view without an account but teachers need to create a free account to access the additional materials. 
• Having the steps written out ahead of time may help some students follow along with the process.
  

Differentiation

• You may consider having students create a conversation plan based on the steps suggested in the video.
• Science classes could use the heat article for lessons about forms of energy, thermodynamics, weather, and climate. 
• Other resources to consider on this topic include this project about climate action and this Talking Climate Handbook. 

This is a good resource for engaging in a climate conversation, giving opportunities for respondents to share their climate story and experience. This is recommended for teaching.
