Peaceseeker Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Can anyone recommend some good documentaries on climate change/ global warming for middle school ages? I would love something with some strong science and less politics if possible. If there is something that examines climate change from both the perspective of a natural cycle of the earth and human impact that would be even better (or perhaps two documentaries that give opposing views) we have amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu and Curiosity stream. There is a lot I am finding but not sure of the quality so I thought I would see if anyone had recommendations. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runningmom80 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) I thought Before the Flood was really well done, heavy on science. The political thing is tricky because Climate change has unfortunately been politicized. They don't present it as a natural cycle in weather, they show graphs where it's clearly a hockey stick where the line shoots up as our planet warms. I don't the BTF was too political but I'm a liberal, and a climate change believer, so my opinion is biased. ETA: I watched it with my 5th grader, he liked it.

deerforest Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 We did this EdX course ogether last year, and it was awesome: https://www.edx.org/course/climate-change-science-ubcx-climate1x-2 DD loved the instructor and was really engaged in the material. We didn't turn in assignments or anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daijobu Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The most recent issue of Muse Magazine is all about climate change. You may be able to find a copy at the library. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
