Ms. Tarins 6th grade class

Ms. Tarin's 6th grade class at Jefferson Middle School used carbon calculators and a WWF livestream to learn about climate change, eventually creating digital PSAs and designing re-seeding machines to combat environmental damage.

• Students used an online carbon calculator to analyze how their electronic device usage and waste production impacted the planet, which led to behavioral changes such as unplugging Chromebooks and reducing food waste.
• Participation in a WWF 'Conservation in the Classroom' livestream titled 'The Connection Between Forests and Climate Change' helped students overcome frustration regarding their ability to make a difference by emphasizing awareness, environmental protection, and future careers in climate work.
• The educational journey culminated in students producing digital public service announcements (PSAs) and collaborating to build their own re-seeding machines after researching environmentalists who plant tree seeds.
