How do we know the climate is changing? For more than 200 years, scientists have been observing, measuring, and analyzing information about our planet's climate. Studies from the Antarctic, Amazon, Great Barrier Reef, and beyond show that the earth is in constant transition and humans have an effect on what happens. In Climate Change: Discover How It Impacts Spaceship Earth, young readers examine real studies concerning planetary science, Arctic ice bubbles, migratory patterns, the history of human impact from the Industrial Revolution to our modern-day technology, as well as the innovations underway around the world to address global climate change. The idea of climate change can be scary, but every one of us has the ability to make a difference. Focused on a pro-active approach to environmental education, Climate Change: Discover How It Impacts Spaceship Earth engages readers through hands-on activities, such as building a solar pizza oven, along with deconstructions of myths, hypotheses, and communications. Kids are directed to digital supplemental material that enhances the discussion of climate change and makes complex concepts easier to understand through visual representation.
