The video Freeze, Freeze, Fry is an excellent production of information about climate change. In it, Harvard climatologist Daniel Schrag visits a high school classroom and discusses his research. The format is just the way students perceive teaching to be and therefore will seem very familiar and accessible. Schrag is a dynamic speaker and conveys his enthusiasm for the subject to the viewer.

This video is easy to use and incorporate into the classroom. The DVD is clearly divided into chapters that can be used individually to augment the classroom discussion. It could also be used to help the teacher become more aware of current issues and discoveries in global change today. There is a wealth of additional content available on the accompanying website that supplements and enhances the video content.

This is part of a series that approaches global change in a comprehensive way. The scientists are interdisciplinary and leaders in their fields. I recommend it highly.
