Every year the temperature of the earths surface rises. How do we help reduce our impact on global warming?Kindergartner's will study the effects of the sun on the earths surface, learn about Climate Change and pursue possible solutions. As we investigate this problem, we are learning about the PBL process, essential to being a STEM student.
