Climate Change and Our Life
by Anonymous · ⭐ 1 · 🍴 0
What Has Changed — Move through the years from 1900 to 2020 and watch temperature climb 1.1°C, glaciers shrink by 40%, sea level rise 22cm, and cherry blossoms bloom 12 days earlier, shifting from April 15 to April 3. What Made It Rise — Switch five emission sources — electricity, cars, factories, livestock, and waste — on and off one at a time to see that electricity (30%) and cars (25%) contribute the most. What I Can Do — Pick up to 3 action cards like walking, not wasting food, and recycling, and watch the numbers show you can cut up to 60 points. Flip the causes on and off, and it stops being «someone else’s fault» — it becomes «my share».
About this app
Climate Change and Our Life is an interactive elementary science app that shows how Earth changed from 1900 to 2020. Move through selected years to compare temperature, glacier coverage, sea level, and cherry blossom dates, then explore five emission sources by turning them on and off. A final activity lets learners choose up to three everyday actions and see their reduction score, up to 60 points.
