Through photography and with a focus on phenology, students learn about the earth’s changing atmosphere and its effects. A large portion of this class is centered toward outdoor exploration.

Outcomes

Upon completion of the Changing Climate class, students will be able to:

• Understand that all aspects of activity on earth deal with energy as a currency.
• Identify and investigate environmental issues and potential solutions.
• Define climate, want, need, resource, energy and power.
• Examine phenology events and compare this to the current climate in order to understand how large-scale climate change can affect biology.
• Construct a digital snapshot of phenology.
