Changes in Agricultural Productivity
Dear students,
You will work according to this WebQuest
It is time to explore the connection between climate change and agriculture!
Introduction to the impacts of Climate Change on the Agricultural Sector
Begin by recognizing how climate change affects agricultural production. Agriculture depends on selecting crops suited to local climate conditions and employing appropriate farming practices, making it highly climate-sensitive with distinct regional traits. Climate change disrupts this system by altering key factors such as temperature, precipitation, and sunlight, which impact farming practices, livestock management, and water resources.
Watch the following video:
Identifying the potential effects of climate change on agricultural productivity You will be split into four teams and work with the help of your mentor teachers. Two teams will research and gather evidence on the 'Positive Impacts' of Climate Change on Agricultural Productivity, while the other two teams will focus on the 'Negative Impacts.' Visit the following Google Doc to join a team and check on your assignment: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TkgnRRclKLukEYusK1lepZKtmgYeVO02X69PFo1YpfA/edit?usp=sharing

2. Add your findings in this Padlet:
3. Teams that are working on the same assignment (Positive or Negative Impacts of Climate Change on Agricultural Productivity) will assess each other’s work, according to the following rubric and make comment in the Padlet:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bmWK_q0i1N8s8pMdldVqT0OzzMkeeuzb6Mgg64_eSys/edit?usp=sharing
4. Each student will reflect to the question ‘Considering both the positive and negative effects of climate change on agriculture, which do you believe will have a greater impact in the long term?’ to the following lino.it:
