North East School Division Unpacking Outcomes Unpacking the Outcome Analyze impact Analyze need Outcome (circle the verb and underline the qualifiers) ES20-AS2 – Analyze current and potential future effects of global climate change on Earth and humans, including the need for adaptation and mitigation strategies. KNOW UNDERSTAND BE ABLE TO DO Key vocabulary – anthropogenic, policies, summits, models, organizations, spatial scales, temporal scales, adaptation, collaborative, satellite imagery, ice core samples, dendrology, vulnerability, latitudes, hypothesize, consensus, mitigations, indicator region The students will understand that: Science contributes to human understanding of anthropogenic effects on the environment There are many indicators of increasing global temperature The topic of global warming is controversial Technologies exist to predict climate change Certain parts of the world are more vulnerable to climate change Small climate changes can have far-reaching effects Climate models predict future effects of climate changes and help us determine solutions Climate change has tremendous impacts within Saskatchewan Current patterns help predict future outcomes Policies, models, summits and organizations to examine: Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling and Analysis (CCCma), Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative (PARC) Prior knowledge – contributors to climate change, climate change policy Concepts/ Skills to be learned – climate models, how to support ideas, climate change monitoring, governance decision-making, analyzing impacts, how to hypothesize, examining data Provide examples of how environmental science contributes to human understanding of anthropogenic effects on the environment. Explore, on a variety of spatial and temporal scales, major physical, biological, and social indicators of increasing global temperatures Examine the role of policies, summits, models, and organization in obtaining a high degree of consensus among scientists regarding anthropogenic climate change.(Recognize how techniques such as satellite imagery, ice core samples, and dendrology are used to build climate models that predict future effects of climate changes with varying degrees of probability and reliability. Explain the economic impact of climate change on agriculture, energy, forestry, transportation, and/or tourism in Saskatchewan Examine how policy makers use scientific information, including climate model predictions, to develop adaptation and mitigation strategies to respond to the effects of climate change. Recognize differences in vulnerability to climate change impacts and rates of change at northern versus equatorial latitudes, specifically recognizing the Arctic as an indicator region, and the impact on traditional lifestyles Hypothesize how life on Earth might respond to changing global climate given different scenarios change such as sea level rise, extreme weather events, water shortages, increased spread of disease, and flooding. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Why is climate change controversial? Why does it matter to so many people? How does science work in studying climate change? What do patterns now tell us about our future? How do we mitigate climate change? How do we know the Earth is heating up? Who is at risk for suffering the greatest effects of climate change? Why is a small change such a big deal? Why do we use climate models? Is climate change a big thing in Saskatchewan?
