Description:
Investigating climate change and learning how to take responsible environmental action is the focus of these activities for students grades 4-8. In the level one booklet, students investigate weather, climate, and biomes as they assist the three little pigs in designing a home that is most appropriate for the biome where they live. In the level two booklet, students investigate our "just right" atmosphere and greenhouse gases with assistance from environmental reporter Goldilocks and Baby Bear of three bears fame. An accompanying educator's guide provides helpful hints, background information, and answer keys.
