TERM 1 PROJECT 1 Climate change and how it affects Egypt What is climate change? a glacier melting a drought a flood Climate change is the long-term shift in weather patterns. It can be caused naturally by volcanoes. However, at the moment, humans are causing climate change by releasing lots of pollution. The temperature is rising and the glaciers are melting. This means the sea levels are rising, too. When the sea gets higher, we get floods. When the temperature rises we get droughts because the water evaporates. Read and think about the project and make a poster. Work in groups and prepare a presentation for your class Think about how climate change is affecting Egypt. Choose one of the topics in the box below in your group. Rising temperature Rising sea levels Floods Droughts Less crops. 2 Think about what caused climate change in Egypt 3 108 Make flow sentences like this one: Industry releases pollution crops die. Warmer temperature warmer temperature too hot for crops glaciers melt sea level rises this kills the crops sea water gets into the River Nile and makes it salty Think about some key words you want to use for your presentation. Circle some good words in the table below: environment pencils table carbon dioxide temperature whiteboard greenhouse gas cats agriculture drought

5 Think about some possible solutions. Look at the example Climate change might cause problems to agriculture. There might not be enough water to grow crops. One solution to drought is to use soil-less farming. See the photo below. In this way, you grow plants without using soil. Crops get the right amount of water and nutrients in specific greenhouses. And so you save water and time. Do your research on the internet. Use the Egyptian Knowledge Bank for more information. Think about problems and possible solutions. Choose your photos or draw pictures soil-less agriculture in Egypt Work in your group. Share your ideas. Decide who will present each section of the talk 7 COP27 was a very important international environmental meeting. People from many countries talked about how to help the environment and stop climate change. It was in Sharm El-Sheikh. Think about what you and your group wanted to say to COP27 about Egypt and the world Dear COP27 We are worried about climate change. Here in Egypt we have these problems with climate change: My friends and I think we can help Egypt by doing this: We think we can help the world environment by doing this: 109
