Students will explore different stakeholders affected by climate change and work together (from the perspective of their stakeholder) to come up with short term and long term solutions to the climate challenge.
Students take on global and Yosemite perspectives in regards to climate change in a town meeting/debate style. This activity is great for students who already have a strong base knowledge of climate change.
A common teambuilding game is linked to teaching about increased carbon in the atmosphere, and sparking discussion about taking action towards climate change and global warming.
Students will simulate water molecules as they move through the hydrologic (water) cycle. Students will also simulate ways human activity impacts the water cycle and discuss how to reduce the impact.
The game "Two Truths and a Lie" is used to teach students about the history of Olympic National Park, what a national park is and the roles that park rangers play in protecting the park.
Students play a game where they will learn about the relationship between deer populations and resources available to them in their habitat. This is a good game to do with multiple groups as the patterns are easier to recognize with more students.
Students work together to hide a water bottle from their educator as they move from one location to another (similar to the game “Red light, green light”).
