As well as focusing on Global Warming, you could have a secondary focus on water quality or the importance of water, showing contrasting images from the around the world (Countries experiencing drought-like conditions vs. countries experiencing flooding quite regularly).
Take the students to the nearest river and get each group of say 2 student to make a water filter using some everyday items like an empty water bottle, some cotton wool, pebbles and sand. There are plenty of resources available on the net to aid you in this project.
If you ask the science the science department in your school, you be able to get your hands on allum, a clarifying agent that will make the murky water look incredibly clean and healthy. IT ISN'T!!! DO NOT LET THE KIDS DRINK THE WATER!!!!
Just an idea. I was in the field of environmental education back home and this was always a winner with students, especially coming from Africa.
