Climate Detectives - supporting resources
ESA Climate Detectives is a competition that is open for students from the ages of 8 to 19. Teams of students, supported by their teacher, are called to make a difference by identifying a climate problem, investigating it by using available Earth Observation data or taking measurements on the ground, and then proposing a way to help reduce the problem.
This collection of resources has been put together to support teachers and teams taking part in Climate Detectives. The resources can be used to inspire ideas, deepen understanding, or to fuel further learning after taking part in the challenge.
