Introduction Climate change refers to the shift in the Earth’s usual weather conditions over many years. Our world has been getting hotter due to things humans are doing, like burning huge amounts of fossil fuels, cutting down too many trees and over-farming crops and animals. Climate change is the result of these actions and it's already putting humans, wildlife and the planet at risk.
Melting ice and rising seas In the oceans, the extra heat is not only making it harder for sea creatures to survive, but it is also causing ocean water to expand, leading to rises in sea levels. Warmer waters, along with warmer air, also leads to melting ice. Melting sea ice causes problems for creatures like polar bears and penguins that need ice to hunt and survive. When ice on land melts, like glaciers or ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, the water runs off into the sea, which causes sea levels to rise even further.
Task 3: Paired or Small Group Reading.
Underline key vocabulary on the texts provided for you to discuss, explore, and find definitions.

“It’s strange when you think about it, isn’t it?” Cooper said thoughtfully. He was sitting under a tree slurping his fast-melting lemonade ice-block. He’d been playing basketball together with Brodie, Tyson and a group of other kids when, hot and bothered, they decided to head to the pool to cool off. Cooper was a talented basketball player. The other kids could only watch his dodge and weave with envy.
“What’s strange?” Brodie replied. He pulled himself out of the water and onto the pool’s edge. Tyson was right beside him. Goosebumps covered their bodies, so they lay down on the hot concrete pathway.
“Well, we get in the pool to cool off, then we lie down on the concrete to warm up, then we sit in the shade and get an ice-block to cool down, then we get hot again and jump back in the pool!”
R: What sport is Cooper good at?
I: What was the weather like? How do you know?
C: Find the word bothered, what other word could be used instead for the sentence to still make sense?
