• Teaching Tips
  The video does not include a teacher's guide, so teachers will need to consider how to fit the content into other topics or lessons. It could be framed as both a scientific and cultural issue depending on the subject and the class.
• About the Science
  This video touches on both the impacts of climate change and adaptation measures to ensure that food and cultural systems can be maintained in the context of climate change. The topic of breading peaches better adapted to new climates is touched upon, but not discussed in depth. Teachers could discuss the topic further with students to expand upon the science described in this video. Passed initial science review - expert science review pending.
• About the Pedagogy
  While the video focuses on the impact of a warm 2023 in Georgia, the implications could be connected to multiple industries and regions globally. Consider having students research local crops to see which might be most impacted by climate change and what adaptation measures could help lessen those effects.
