Polar bears and climate change

The document is an educational toolkit designed for students in grades 3-5 to explore the relationship between human energy use, climate change, and the survival of polar bears in the Arctic. It includes a variety of learning activities, such as cause-and-effect modeling on energy use, arguments against Arctic drilling, and a storybook focused on Churchill, Canada. The toolkit also provides multimedia resources, including a video playlist, a podcast on polar bear research, and interactive quizzes.

• The toolkit employs several pedagogical activities to teach students about the Arctic, including cause-and-effect modeling to link daily energy use to polar bear futures and exercises to develop arguments for prohibiting drilling in the Arctic.
• Educational materials include a storybook and STEAM guide focused on Churchill, Canada, which is described as the polar bear capital of the world, to teach students about wildlife adaptations and Arctic habitats.
