Summer Center for Climate, Energy, and Environmental Decision-Making (SUCCEED) Lesson Plans

In 2011, Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for Climate and Energy Decision Making created SUCCEED: the Summer Center for Climate, Energy, and Environmental Decision Making. Held annually, SUCCEED consists of two pilot programs: a 2-day workshop to improve teacher curricula and a free 5-day summer school targeted at an age gap in the university’s outreach, that being students entering 10th grade.

In conjunction with the National Science Foundation’s Climate and Energy Decision Making Center, we have adapted the SUCCEED curricula into K-12 lesson plans on climate, energy, and environment meeting Pennsylvania standards. Please use the links on the sidebar to navigate through these resources. Note, the lesson plans and handouts are designed to be stand-alone lesson plans and are not meant to be used in any particular order.

We are continually adding new lessons, so check back often!
