To help students better understand Climate Change I showed an animation explaining the phenomenon as a 12-year-old would. We then examined NASA's Guide to Climate Change for Kids to search for common ideas/themes. I encouraged students to consider what they saw, heard, and read as they were brainstorming potential solutions.

This is a variation of the Solution Stage protocol $100 Test. I've had success using it as a reflection piece whenever students do a group project like this - as long as the students are honest with themselves and with their group (which they surprisingly are) it can be very effective.

I used this image as a fun way to kick off Stakeholder Maps. I actually ended up combining this with the Pains/Gains  protocol so students would have a solid understanding of not only WHO the stakeholders are but also HOW the stakeholders are/will be affected by the driving question and potential solutions. Side note ... we also used this as an opportunity to talk about the importance of spelling :)

First I used the Creative DNA protocol to quickly get students into balanced groups so they could get started right away. Next, I had them complete the Creative Types online assessment to help them further identify their natural gifts and challenges and, hopefully, find an “ideal collaborator” within their group.

As students began narrowing down their ideas and potential solutions, they began having some expressive conversations within their groups about how to pick the "best one." To help them get past the idea that there might only be one good idea that would work, I posted this picture and asked them "what do you see?" followed by "what do you REALLY see?"

I typically require groups to share their solutions using the “3P’s” - Poster, Prototype, and Pitch. Although Poster Session is actually considered a Solution Stage protocol, by using it during the Validation Stage it gives everyone in the group an opportunity to actively participate in a way that matches their interests and/or personal strengths.

I showed this clip to students to get them thinking about what empathy is and why it is important.

First, students used the NASA Global Climate Change site to observe past and present pictures of urban and rural areas and examine data charts showing the average temperatures (past/present) of these areas. Next, students read about Urban Heat Islands and completed the Analyzing Surface Temperature Differences activity, parts one and two.
