Introduction
The Earth is changing—and not always for the better. Rising temperatures, stronger typhoons, flooding, droughts, and other extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, especially in the Philippines.
In this WebQuest, you will become part of a team called “Climate Guardians.” Your mission is to investigate climate change, understand its causes and effects, and design real solutions that your school or community can apply.
By the end of this activity, you will not only understand climate change—you will also help raise awareness and take action.
Task
Your group will create a Climate Action Campaign Kit that will help raise awareness about climate change.
Your final output must include:
1. A poster or infographic explaining climate change
2. A 1–2 minute video or short presentation
3. A list of 5 practical actions that your school or community can do to help fight climate change
Your work will be presented to your class as a campaign for environmental awareness.
Process
Step 1: Form Your Group
Work in groups of 3–5 members
a. Assign roles:
- Researcher
- Writer/Recorder
- Designer
- Presenter
- Video Editor (optional)
Step 2: Research Climate Change
Answer the following guide questions:
1. What is climate change?
2. What causes it?
3. What are its effects globally and in the Philippines?
4. Why should people act now?
Take notes and summarize in your own words.
Step 3: Use Reliable Resources
Explore the following websites:
https://climatekids.nasa.gov�
https://www.un.org/en/climatechange�
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/topic/climate-change�
https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph�
You may also watch educational videos (e.g., TED-Ed on climate change).
Step 4: Plan Your Output
Decide:
a. Main message for your infographic/poster
b. Script or outline for your video presentation
c. 5 realistic actions your school/community can do
Examples:
- Reduce plastic use
- Save electricity and water
- Plant trees
- Recycle properly
- Join clean-up drives
Step 5: Create Your Campaign Kit
Design your infographic/poster (Canva or hand-drawn)
Record or prepare your short video/presentation
Finalize your 5 action steps clearly and creatively
Step 6: Presentation
Present your campaign kit to the class and explain:
What climate change is
Why it is important
What solutions your group recommends
