Climate Detectives Teacher Guide
The Climate Detectives Teacher’s Guide provides a set of steps and approaches that teachers and Team Leaders might employ with students to ensure that participating in the Climate Detectives project replicates the scientific method. The Teacher’s Guide is divided into three phases corresponding to the different phases of the project:
Phase 1: Identify an environmental or climate problem
Phase 2: Investigate the problem
Phase 3: Share results and make a difference
