A book about climate change for middle readers who want to learn
the science behind a warming planet and make a difference for their
own future! What's causing extreme weather around the globe? Why
are some species rapidly dwindling in number? And what does the
future hold for planet Earth? In Climate Change: The Science Behind
Melting Glaciers and Warming Oceans with Hands-On Science
Activities, students ages 9 to 12 take a deep dive into the science
behind the changing climate in order to best contribute to the
methods underway to solve the problem of a rapidly changing
planet-and think up new solutions! Essential questions, cool facts,
and links to online primary sources and other relevant material
make complex concepts easier to understand. This book is rich in
text-to-self and text-to-world connections, along with hands-on
science and critical creative-thinking exercises designed to
explore the research being done to combat this global problem and
encourage kids to find new solutions! This title has been revised
and updated to reflect 2020 educational standards and incorporate
new scientific discoveries! * How do we know the climate is
changing? By looking at the science from the past 200 years or so,
all of which points to the fact that humans have had an adverse
impact on the health of the planet, and this impact is great enough
to affect many different ecosystems, living species, and the human
species itself. * The study of planetary science, arctic ice
bubbles, coral reefs, and more all contribute to the wealth of
knowledge we are gaining, knowledge that can be used in the science
and engineering innovations underway around the world to address
global climate change. * Focused on a proactive approach to
environmental education, Climate Change engages readers through
hands-on activities, such as building a solar pizza oven, along
with stories of people, including kids, who are making a positive
environmental difference. About the Build It Science set and Nomad
