I think I will be able to connect both the earth systems and climate change subject into my already developed APES curriculum. I think with the right resources I will be able to reach more students and possibility with access to or computer models, students will be able to interact with the subject matter and see the impacts it is having on them.

I think the major evidence would come from sea level rise in the Chesapeake Bay and Ocean City. These are two areas where my students recreate and they have already seen some problems with those areas already. Another topic which may grab my students is the increase in weather events and changes in the overall climate in the area over time. Most of them in their lifetime have experienced the warmest years on record and they can attest to how that has impacted them.
