Climate Change Awareness and Action: What Can We Do?

Introduction

Have you ever experienced sudden changes in weather, floods, or extreme heat? These are signs of climate change. In this WebQuest, you will explore what causes climate change, how it affects the Philippines, and most importantly — what actions we can take as students and future leaders to help the environment.

 

Task

Your task is to work in groups of 3–5 to create a multimedia campaign that raises awareness about climate change and promotes eco-friendly habits. You will choose one environmental issue, research it, and present your findings through a short video, infographic, or interactive digital poster.

 

Your group will:

 

  • Research one climate-related issue
  • Create a multimedia output (video, poster, or presentation)
  • Present your campaign to the class

Step 3: Group Discussion

Form a group and choose one issue to focus on (e.g., plastic pollution, carbon emissions, deforestation, sea-level rise). Answer these guide questions together:

 

  • What causes this problem?
  • How does it affect people and nature?
  • What can we do to help?

 

 

Step 4: Create Your Output

Choose your format:

 

  • A 2–3 minute awareness video (host it on YouTube or Google Drive)
  • A digital poster or infographic (Canva, Google Slides, etc.)
  • A slideshow presentation (PowerPoint, Google Slides)

 

 

Step 5: Share Your Work

Present your campaign to the class. Be ready to answer questions and explain the message behind your project.
