The sands of time are running out! In this lesson, students will explore climate change, renewable energy, and nuclear power. The lesson features a video discussing strategies for coping with climate change and the potential benefits of nuclear energy. Students will learn and practice the zeroth, first, and second conditionals, along with related vocabulary. The lesson includes plenty of engaging discussion activities and worksheets designed for both adult and teenage learners, ensuring a comprehensive and interactive learning experience.

Lesson Objectives

Grammar: Students will learn and practice using zero, first, and second conditionals to express general truths, probable outcomes, and hypothetical situations. They will form sentences like "If you water plants, they grow," or "If I had the money, I would try to save the planet."

Listening: Students will listen to a video about nuclear energy and climate change, focusing on how nuclear science helps in monitoring, mitigating, and adapting to climate change. They will understand complex discussions about international efforts against global warming.

Speaking: Students will discuss their views on climate change, renewable energy, and nuclear power, sharing personal experiences or opinions on environmental responsibility. They'll engage in debates and express ideas using newly learned vocabulary.

Vocabulary: Key terms related to climate change will be introduced, such as "greenhouse gases," "sustainable energy," and "biodiversity loss." Students will also learn phrases connected to nuclear energy and environmental policies.

Cultural Awareness: Students will explore different global and national policies on climate change and compare them with their own country's strategies. They will discuss the role of international organizations like the IAEA in combating climate issues.

Homework: Students will complete exercises using conditional sentences to discuss hypothetical situations related to climate action. They will also research and write about the impact of nuclear energy on the environment, comparing it to other energy sources.

                                                The video discusses ways to cope with climate change and the possible advantages of nuclear energy. The issues are being addressed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The IAEA is the world's central intergovernmental forum for scientific and technical cooperation in the nuclear field. It works with safe, secure, and peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology, contributing to international peace, security, and the sustainable development goals of the United Nations.
