| Climate change in Romanian Science Curricula | |||
| Class | Discipline | Topic | Learning outcomes |
| a IX a | Geography | Climate evolution and trends | Students will learn how to adapt to climate change already underway and explain the processes and phenomena occurring in nature in front of their eyes, today |
| a IX a | Geography | Climate maps and synoptic map. | Students learn how to predict weather conditions and how to take quick protective measures |
| a IX a | Geography | Measurement and calculation of distances and others surfaces on geographical maps and in the local horizon | If climate change has led to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, floods and forest fires, students can analyze their distribution on maps and then deduce the way houses are built, the need to build a street infrastructure, the exploitation fossil resources |
| a IX a | Geography | The structure of the atmosphere | Students will learn how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions mainly from human activities (burning fossil fuels and deforestation) after learning about the structure of the atmosphere |
| a XI a | Geography | Climate hazards | The formation of a constructive critical behavior in relation to the qualitative elements of the environment; These events have an impact on the population, the economy and the environment. |
| a XI a | Geography | Desertification on the Globe | Climate change affects terrestrial and marine ecosystems and can lead to biodiversity loss. Many species are threatened with extinction due to changes in their habitat and changes in the availability of food resources. |
| a XII a | Geography | Climate (genetic factors, elements climate, climate region); Map overview of Europe and Romania; | Students will be involved in the development of technologies and strategies to deal with the impact of climate change on infrastructure (the use of polluting vehicles, the installation of power plants based on alternative energies), agriculture and human health. |
| a X a | Geography | The resources of the atmosphere | It is important to emphasize that climate change is a global problem and requires coordinated worldwide action to address it. |
| a X a | Physics | Thermodynamics. Temperature Measurements, heat | The student will understand the effect of temperature variation and the effects on human and animal life, how some devices work, reducing electricity consumption, etc. |
| a VII a | Chemistry | Environmental pollution | Students learn that reducing air pollution is one way to help limit climate change and protect the environment for future generations. Learning about air pollution is essential to the education and awareness of students, helping them become responsible citizens, protect the environment and stay healthy. |
| XII | Biology | Characteristics of anthropogenic ecosystems and ways of investigation; Peculiarities of the biotopeand biocenosis; interspecific relationships in anthropogenic ecosystems; Peculiarities of the flow of matter and energy in anthropogenic ecosystems. | Students will learn about the peculiarities of biotope and biocenosis in order to understand the functioning of anthropogenic ecosystems, about abiotic factors and biotic factors and understand their role within the ecosystem. |
| XII | Biology | Analysis of abiotic factors. | Students learn about abiotic (non-life) factors: light, temperature, soil structure, air, how living organisms, plants and animals adapt to abiotic factors in an ecosystem, and about changes suffered by living organisms under the influence of climate change |
| XII | Biology | Structure and dynamics of human populations: migration, birth rate, mortality rate, morbidity rate, age and sex structure, life expectancy, population explosion. | Students learn about populations, perform statistical analyses proving the structure of a population and the dynamics of populations around the globe, under the influence of climate change. |
| XII | Biology | Anthropogenic impact on natural ecosystems: habitat degradation, introduction of new species, overexploitation of biological resources (deforestation, grazing, fishing, hunting, wildlife trade wildlife, etc.), urbanization and industrialization, environmental deterioration through chemical, physical, biological pollution | Students learn the effect that man has on natural ecosystems and climate change, which lead to various actions on the environment |
| XII | Biology | Effects of ecosystem damage on human health. | Students will learn about diseases affecting the human body, diseases that are the consequences of the action of pollutants and types of physical, chemical and biological pollution. Increasing environmental pollution is leading to climate change. |
| IX | Biology | Environmental influence on heredity (mutations, classification, mutagenic factors) | Students learn about the action of the environment on heredity; A modified environment due to climate change leads to increased pollution, which influences the structure of DNA and the increase in mutations and diseases on Earth. |
| X | Biology | Influence of environmental factors on the intensity of photosynthesis (light, temperature, water and mineral salts and CO2. | Students learn about environmental factors, which act on how the process of photosynthesis in green plants is carried out, which due to climate change may change. |
| X | Biology | Influence of environmental factors on breathing intensity (internal - amount of organic matter, degree of hydration, age, resting state, external - temperature, concentration of CO2 and O2, mechanical factors) | Students learn about the effects that internal and external environmental factors produce on breathing |
| X | Biology | influence of environmental factors on absorption and circulation of saps (amount of water, temperature, O2, pH and toxic substances in the soil). | Students learn about the effects that environmental factors produce on the circulation of saps in the plant body. |
| X | Biology | The influence of environmental factors (internal – sweat surface, permeability of cell walls, stomata density, external – atmospheric humidity, light, temperature, air currents and soil moisture*) on perspiration and guttation. | Students learn about the effects that environmental factors produce on transpiration and guttation in plants. |
| a VIII a | Biology | Ecology | Scientific research continues to bring new data and understanding to this phenomenon and is crucial to the development of effective policies and actions in the fight against climate change. |
| V | Biology | Living things and their living environment | Students learn about the living environment of living organisms, exploration of living things in their living environment, variation of environmental factors, interaction between organism and environmental factors, relationships between living things, diversity of living environments in our country, man and his relations with the environment, protection and care of nature, living environments in other areas of the planet. |
