Introduction

Introduction - Global temperature

In this next lesson, we look at climate change.
You are going to think about some facts about the climate. Some people do not believe they are facts – perhaps you too are a climate sceptic? We then move on to hear about how these huge conclusions are made from a big data climate scientist.

Form groups of three or four pupils.

Discuss in your group what you know about climate change.

This lesson contains 6 steps and an evaluation. Work them through step by step.
