The science behind Earth, air and water

By
Brenda Greene

From one perspective, this emergency seems too large, too complex and too far advanced to address. But this book offers a different perspective by addressing it step by step, with a range of questions. It shows how science - as a way of observing our world, drawing conclusions from the evidence and from there identifying actions to solve problems - is an integral part of the response to climate change.

The range of hands-on activities includes both experiments and tasks using class-based resources. Every activity specifies a learning objective and develops one or more key skills differentiated by what (beginners), how (developers) and why (experts).
