• Resumen

  • As the climate change crisis continues to intensify, our curricular response has moved at a (preindustrial) glacial speed. A shift in our physics pedagogy can empower students to understand how our society’s energy use warms our planet. This paper is both a call to action and a practical illustration of one approach for including climate change conversations in the energy unit. In particular, we connect the physics canon (energy forms) with a climate-focused energy topic (energy resources).
