What makes the sea rise

Introduction

This activity aims to enable students to acquire knowledge and skills regarding the impact of rising sea levels. The objective is to raise students’ awareness of rising sea levels in the context of climate change and encourage them to use adaptation strategies and change their behaviours to minimize the impact of climate change on the environment.

Objectives

● Raise awareness about the environmental consequences of climate
change on the sea level
● Understand the links between sea and climate change
● Encourage students to reflect on their personal behaviour
● Explore possible adaptation strategies to mitigate the impacts of sea level
rise

Learning outcomes

By the end of this learning scenario, students will be able to:
● Comprehend the impact of climate change on sea level
● Demonstrate critical thinking on the main scientific concepts related to
the impact of climate change on seas and oceans such as melting ice
sheets and glaciers, ocean warming and acidification.
● Identify the main adaptation strategies in mitigating climate change
● Adapt and optimize solutions and behaviours in response to real-world
challenges related to sea level rise
● Explore innovative solutions related to combating sea level rise to
mitigate climate change
