New toolkit makes finding weather and climate lesson plans easy
Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant (IISG) has created a weather and climate education toolkit where teachers can find resources on the topics of weather, climate and climate change. Teachers—whether parents, home school tutors or licensed professionals—can find what they need by using the search function to filter by grade level, specific weather and climate subtopics or geographic locations, learning mode and more. Many of the lesson plans and activities in this curated catalog of resources can be used as-is or adapted for virtual learning and at-home teaching environments. See IISG Communicator, Hope Charter's full article at : https://iiseagrant.org/new-weather-climate-education-toolkit/
