This study explores the adaptation and implementation of STEM teaching modules on climate change by 27 in-service science teachers. Supported by experienced mentors in learning communities, participants engaged in designing and implementing tailored STEM teaching modules to foster climate change education. Teachers adapted pre-existing materials by redesigning activities to align with their...
The "Physics Debate: Energy and Climate" project is an innovative educational path, focused on climate change and energy issues, which exploits the debate technique (following the World School Style debating model). This activity was proposed, and still is, to many high-school students, with the aim of raising awareness on energy-environmental issues and their social implications, while...
