Choosing OER Project: Climate

Choosing OER Project: Climate

OER Project: Climate moves students from understanding the causes and impacts of climate change to exploring adaptation, innovation, decarbonization, and meaningful action. Built for grades 6–12, this course works in social studies, science, civics, geography, economics, advisory, and interdisciplinary classrooms. If taught start to finish, the course fits in a semester, but it’s designed in a flexible manner so that just one unit or lesson can easily be incorporated into an existing class. Students evaluate evidence, test claims, explore solutions, and consider how communities can respond to climate change in ways that are informed, practical, and hopeful. Whether you teach the full course or pull lessons that fit your schedule, OER Project: Climate will help students build knowledge, skills, and agency for the future.

OER Project: Climate Curriculum Adoption

OER Project: Climate is built for today’s classrooms and ready for flexible implementation: standards-aligned, inquiry-driven, and designed for interdisciplinary learning. Flexible from tip to tail, Climate can work as a semester-long course, a focused unit, or supplemental resources—all online, free, open source, and classroom-ready.
