Abstract: In the Nearpod lesson, we intend to teach our students global warming, which is one of the most popular topics in the field of climate change. The course is designed for 11th-grade students, and it will be given in their science class. During the lesson, students are encouraged to explore the effects of global warming in a way that how it is changing the Earth and our lives. Afterwards, certain materials are provided from which they will learn the 5 main causes of it and explain them in their own words through group work. Moreover, we want our students to develop practical solutions for tackling global warming based on the Drawdown Framework and fight for environmental protection, which we believe should be the end of the lesson. The method used in the study is Classroom Observation, and this research will be qualitative research that takes one class as an example to see how Nearpod can be designed as an interactive tool in class. Through the research, we found that Nearpod provides various perspectives that bring students into Global Warming. The approach to concept map scoring in the study represents a distinct departure from traditional methods that focus on characteristics such as hierarchy and branching and shows the relationships between different kinds of causes and effects in visual. Moreover, we provide a “Web Content” about the 5 main causes for global warming, which students would together discuss with their partners and explain how their assigned topic contributes to global warming as a whole in their own words on the collaborate board, where opinions are exposed and exchanged. Therefore the feedbacks from peers are highly welcome. At last, we use summative assessment to provide evidence for students’ achievements.
