Abstract: In an era where the impacts of climate change are increasingly
undeniable, the need to cultivate environmental stewardship and critical thinking
among students has never been more pressing. This action research project,
titled "Bravery in Teaching: Climate Science Reality," aims to explore and
evaluate the integration of climate science into the middle school curriculum,
with a specific focus on 7th-grade students. The project is driven by the
hypothesis that a comprehensive understanding of climate science, when woven
into the fabric of everyday learning, can empower students with the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes necessary to navigate and address the complexities of the
global climate crisis.
Keywords: Climate change, integration with lessons, middle school
