A Focus On Climate Change

In recognition of the COP 21 Conference from November 30 to December 11 in Paris, LSF is highlighting some of R4R's 'top resource picks' that address climate change science, impact, mitigation and adaptation. You'll find the entire collection of climate change resources on R4R.ca where you can filter the search by grade, subject, curriculum unit and resource type.
 
If you send us stories, photos, and videos of what your

students are doing about climate change, we will see that the Honourable Catherin can share them with the world in Paris!! Email us, share on our Facebook wall, or Tweet at us.

Best of R4R: Dirty Air and Bright Lights

Given the widespread practice of 'holiday lighting' at this time of year, students will reflect on their own values and practices as they develop and promote an energy use policy.
