New Resource: WOOB FILES: Global Warming Comic Book for Grades 9 -12

The National Library of Medicine brings you a new comic book about our changing climate.  The WOOB Files: Global Warming, is the story of a female scientist (Woob) who recognizes that the climate on her home planet of WüB continues to change.  Changes in weather patterns, warmer temperatures, and disease outbreaks, lead her to request travel to the planet Urf where she hopes to discover the reasons behind the seemingly similar changes in climate.

Woob and her sidekick, Wooob, embark on a journey to the planet Urf where they time travel through Urf's history to learn how the planet has evolved and conducts research to understand what has contributed to the planet's warming.  On their journey, they learn about greenhouse gasses and how hoomans (humans) use different methodologies to measure the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses released into the atmosphere.  Armed with knowledge, she returns to her home planet with evidence and strategies to help prepare Wüb civilization for the changes that may come their way.

Each chapter comes with questions to reinforce concepts and a hands-on activity to enrich student understanding.
