What is climate change and how will it affect our city?

Help to future proof our planet through fun activities that investigate how we can respond to climate change.

Students will learn about the role of transport, energy, food, and clothing, and leave the programme feeling empowered to make a difference.

We are learning to:

• Explain the difference between the greenhouse effect and the enhanced greenhouse effect.
• Understand that greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere and can change the climate in harmful ways.
• Identify key human actions that are causing climate change.
• Name the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Christchurch.
• Identify the local effects of climate change.
• Identify key actions we can take to reduce emissions in the key areas of transport, energy use, agriculture, and consumerism.
• Explain how carbon sinks can store carbon.

Using language, symbols and texts

Students will use oral, written, and visual texts to understand key terms.

Thinking

Students will use creative, critical, and metacognitive processes to consider the consequence and real-life meanings of climate change.

Managing self

Students will be encouraged to manage themselves both in groups and independently.

Participating and contributing

Students will problem-solve to come up with solutions to tasks.

Relating to others
