Climate Classroom
Climate Classroom is a National Wildlife Federation (NWF) initiative that focuses on creating age- and developmentally appropriate curricula and projects that educate youth about the causes of and remedies for global warming.
An Inconvenient Truth In The Classroom Curriculum
An Inconvenient Truth In the Classroom is the teen component of this initiative, built around the Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. It is designed to encourage students to analyze the science of global warming and its relevance to current events and their daily lives.
The goal of the curriculum is to utilize the popularity of An Inconvenient Truth as a springboard for integrating climate education in high school classrooms.
