Free Climate Resources & Lesson Plans
SubjectToClimate is a nonprofit platform that provides free, vetted climate change educational resources for K–12 educators across all subjects and grade levels. The site offers teacher-created lesson plans, interactive activities, news articles tailored by reading level, and professional development opportunities, all designed to integrate climate education into existing curricula.
I recommend SubjectToClimate because it offers high-quality, ready-to-use materials that help me take students outside while exploring real-world climate issues. The lessons are easy to adapt for outdoor settings—whether we're collecting data on schoolyard temperatures, observing local ecosystems, or analyzing how climate impacts our own community. I especially appreciate how the platform makes climate education hands-on and locally relevant, giving students a chance to learn through direct experience.
