QUESTION BANK EDUCATOR

The document outlines a teaching framework for using Yale Climate Connections (YCC) 90-second radio stories to make climate change concrete for students. It aligns these activities with NGSS Science and Engineering Practices and Performance Expectations (MS-ESS3-3, HS-ESS3-4, HS-LS2-7), focusing on data interpretation and evidence-based argument. Educators are encouraged to use the provided Question Bank as conversation starters or writing prompts, with the flexibility to search for stories by topic or location on the YCC website.

• The educational materials are designed to align with specific NGSS Performance Expectations, including MS-ESS3-3, HS-ESS3-4, and HS-LS2-7, and focus on practices such as 'Analyzing and interpreting data' and 'Engaging in argument from evidence'.
• Yale Climate Connections (YCC) utilizes 90-second radio stories to link climate change to various sectors, including public health, food and water, national security, the economy, and extreme weather.
• The guide recommends using the Question Bank as a tool for sparking classroom conversations or as prompts for student writing, suggesting that educators can select specific questions or allow students to choose.
