We hear a lot about climate change, but what does it really mean? What causes it, why should we care, and how can we help? Students will investigate renewable and non-renewable resources and learn about the effects of burning fossil fuels on our air and water. Students will engineer their own wind turbines to test out clean energy. Class includes a Science on a Sphere presentation.
