Description

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they simplify structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Using the colorful model, your students will get an engaging overview of the process of climate change.

Using the ready-to-use materials provided with each 3-D model set, students first assemble a model to represent a structure or an entire system as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predictions and communicate ideas to others.

Students will assemble a model using the colorful parts and then use it to look at how the climate has changed due to human activities. The model provides a great starting point to consider how climate change is affecting the planet, as well as what can be done to help solve the environmental problems it has caused and will cause in the future. This unique model covers rising sea levels, sea ice melting, glacial retreat, wildfires, pollution, extreme weather events, habitat loss, deforestation, desertification, ocean acidification, disruption to ecosystems, and threats to low-level coastlines.

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively, along with a comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide.

Also includes a comprehensive, illustrated Teacher Resource Guide for effective preparation and integration of the models’ use in instruction.
