Teaching Typically Achieving Students and Students With Learning Disabilities About the Science Underlying Climate Change

Abstract: This research evaluated the implementation of a climate science curriculum intervention for students in Grades 4 and 5, including those who were typically achieving and those with difficulties in mathematics, reading, or both. Pre- and posttests of measurement and climate change science concepts were administered at the beginning and end of each study. Study 1 consisted of 69 students in the control group (three classes) and 74 students in the treatment group (four classes). Study 2 included 50 students in the control group (three classes) and 46 students in the treatment group (three classes). Compared to Study 1, the curriculum was significantly modified in Study 2 to incorporate more interactive and arts-based activities. Dichotomous and continuous analysis approaches were conducted.
