We have a collection of short videos online where watchers are encouraged and how to do a mini activity/experiment with a geology theme. The first video in the series, Storm in a Teacup, examines how changes in the climate across the time can been seen…
The free mobile apps listed below allow volunteers to quickly access information ‘on-the-go’. Using GPS and camera technology embedded in smart phones, these apps allow citizen scientist volunteers to collect verifiable records in the field. These records are used by our scientists to further our…
FIT Counts: if you can spare ten minutes to sit and watch insects and flowers you can carry out a FIT Count (Flower-Insect Timed Count)! This simple survey collects data on the total number of insects that visit a particular flower, ideally chosen from our…
Our Young Climate Activists pack highlights some of the amazing action taken by young people to create change in the face of the climate crisis. Get inspired by what they have achieved and get involved by doing the included climate science activities.
Carbon compounds are essential to life. A range of natural processes cycles carbon between the ocean, the land and the atmosphere. The key to controlling climate change is understanding and managing this carbon cycle – cutting down emissions of carbon to the atmosphere while increasing…
The sea is incredibly good at storing heat. So good, that just the top three metres of the ocean contain as much heat as the entire atmosphere. The ocean’s ability to accumulate, transport and slowly release the energy it receives from the Sun makes it…
The urban heat island effect is a phenomenon that leads to temperatures in cities often being higher than those in surrounding rural areas. This effect is amplified during heatwaves. As the world becomes more urbanised, and heatwaves become more likely due to climate change, building…
The layer of ozone high up in the stratosphere is our main defence against the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation. But ozone is also a powerful greenhouse gas and ozone at ground level is a hazard to health. The Montreal Protocol to reduce the use of ozone-destroying…
We all depend on the freshwater that cycles through the water cycle for hygiene and industry as well as for drinking and growing our food. Global warming changes the water cycle in complex ways that vary from place to place around the world. This printable…
Water Cycles, Soundscapes and a Climate Change Ceilidh is an interdisciplinary resource that explores the water cycle and climate change through music, dance, embodied and outdoor learning. It involves the creation of soundscapes by using recycled materials and being in the outdoors, and the creation…
