Abstract

Climate change is an extremely relevant issue, and connections can easily be made between topics in climate science and content from classes including natural and physical sciences, mathematics, and social sciences. However, many teachers experience barriers to teaching about climate change, and so students may not be exposed to this content in their K-12 classes despite its relevance to their lives. This article explores how teachers can overcome these real and perceived barriers and improve climate science instruction, and suggests ways to bring climate change education to Ohio science classes.
