Climate change is a complex issue. In this introductory activity from the Centre for Science Education and the Comino Foundation, students are asked to look at four photographs depicting issues related to climate change and to think creatively about how the people in the pictures might feel. Students express their...

This cartoon helps pupils explore issues around climate change; what causes it and how it affects peoples' lives around the world.

Concept Cartoons are quick, simple and effective. They are designed to intrigue, provoke discussion and stimulate thinking. Concept Cartoons make concepts problematic and provide...

This activity sheet is based on the Inventive Podcast.  It introduces two engineers involved in the development of hydrogen as a fuel, and links their work to chemistry and physics topic. The activity sheet also supports Careers Benchmark 4: Careers in the curriculum by introducing a career and role model. There...

Children will work with hypothetical data to help them understand how mathematics can model real life situations.  This will enable them to reflect on how mathematics might be used to help scientists make predictions about the possible impact of climate change in the Polar regions. They will also use real data on...

An activity that encourages students to form opinions on the issues of climate change and put forward arguments in a simulated world climate change conference scenario. Groups are assigned to one of ten countries from around the world and represent them and pledge emission reductions. Both qualitative and...

From Practical Action, this climate change word search contains relevant key words on climate change.

This resource from The Economist Educational Foundation engages students with big questions about climate change and human intervention. The sessions explore the viability of our attempts to keep temperatures down and supports students to discuss the obstacles to success and question where...

These Clip Art images have been produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP) and are a representative sample from the TEP clipart CD-ROM. Images are included in the following categories: Buildings, Circuits, Computing, Construction, Controlling, Drawing, Electrical components, Equipment, Generators,...

Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) resources look at the effects of climate change.This activity encourages students to make observations, record data and be aware of the links between weather and trees. Students work with their peers to collect data using drawings or photographs. They also make...

Because of the shape of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, it is farther away from the Sun in July than it is in January. Still, we have colder days in January than in July. How is this possible? Through this mystery, students will investigate the orbit of the Earth around the Sun and its influence on solar energy...

'Closing the gap: test and learn' is the first programme in the world to trial multiple interventions simultaneously using a wholly collaborative approach across a large number of schools.

In this programme, over 200 teaching schools alliances worked together to carry out 11 large-scale, randomised...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The properties and structures of the fibres used to make clothing
* The care of fabrics
* Modification of the properties of fabrics.
