States of matter - reducing aircraft contrails
Contrails occur when water vapour from jet engines condenses – only when the temperature and humidity conditions of the air is right. Contrails act like greenhouse gases. Marc Stettler from Imperial College, London is interested in guiding aircraft to fly where conditions are right, reducing contrail formation....
The evidence for climate change
This resource is a simplified version of part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) report in 2021on the evidence for climate change and human activity that drives it. The language used is appropriate for pupils aged 14 to 16 and can be used as a reading comprehension exercise. Pupils have to...
Uncertainty in climate projections
Clouds reflect the sun’s light, cooling the planet, but they can also act a bit like greenhouse gases, warming the planet. In this film, Dan Grosvenor from the University of Leeds, shows how different types of cloud have a different climate effect.
In the associated activity, students will test the...
Urban regions
In this resource students are provided with a table showing the efficiency of various factors in warming up or cooling down the neighbourhoods of three urban areas. Students are required to interpret the data, manipulate the data and calculate averages. The data then has to be represented graphically. A number of...
Weather and climate change activities
This resource provides teachers notes on a Climate Change themed transition day for children in their last term in primary school. There are six activities, which support children in understanding the difference between weather and climate, identifying temperature trends over time, making connections with their...
Where is climate change most apparent?
This is a data handling activity looking at how warming in various countries around the world varies. Initially it asks students to differentiate between the terms climate and weather. It then goes on to asks students to present and comment on data about temperatures over time in various countries. Finally it asks...
Which regions have been affected the most by climate change?
In this activity students are required to interpret information conveyed in unfamiliar forms: data from maps and tables, to explore the claims that "The frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation events have increased since the 1950s over most land area, and human-induced climate change is likely the main...
Wildfire
This resource contains a synopsis of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth assessment on wildfires written in language suitable for A level students, so can be used as an exercise in reading comprehension and note taking. It looks at natural and anthropogenic causes of wildfires, their benefits and...
