Climate Change (age 7-11)
Climate change is the biggest challenge facing the world today and is never out of the news. This pack provides the highest-quality BBC content and the lively activities you need to explore climate change and explore the steps that we need to take to address the problem. Everything is provided that you need to teach this topic in the most effective and appropriate way at Key Stage 2, and a host of important curriculum objectives are covered in the process.
The pack also explores three other major topics in the news, making your geography lessons as stimulating as possible and covering many important learning objectives:
Dealing with Disasters: With a wide range of compelling examples and case studies - from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to flooding and oil spillages - this topic uses video clips and other resources to investigate the effects of disasters and the different measures that are taken to manage these extreme events.
Animals and Habitats: A topic of great interest to children: what can be done to protect endangered species and to help ease the pressure on sensitive habitats? The animals studied include penguins, tigers, polar bears and orang-utans.
Feeding the World: This unit investigates a range of important geographical issues connected with food, looking at the pressure on food supply created by a rising global population, and questions arising from the geographical origins and production methods of the food we eat here in the UK.
