Lesson Summary
In this activity students look at how transport, food and energy relate to climate change, and what actions around these issues individuals can take to help address climate change. Students begin by exploring the Cool Australia Climate Change Toolbox, then work together in a class-wide brainstorming activity. Students are then asked to participate in a kinaesthetic climate change exercise, investigating how transport, food, energy and climate change are related and connected. Finally, students are asked to identify personal actions for climate change, to share these actions with other students, and to carry out these actions in their own time.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand some of the main causes and consequences of climate change.
- recognise the role of transport, food and energy in contributing to climate change.
- understand that climate change is a complex issue, and that it is difficult to identify single human activities that contribute to climate change.
- recognise that despite this complexity there are personal actions that can be taken to help address climate change.
