Pupil outcome: I can explain what food miles are and analyse the positive and negative impacts of both locally produced and imported food. Key learning points: - All food has to travel to reach our plates and the distance it travels is...

Pupil outcome: I can identify renewable and non-renewable energy sources and understand the difference between them. Key learning points: - The sun, directly or indirectly, is the source of all energy on Earth: plants use energy to grow...

Pupil outcome: I can use my understanding of climate change to give a speech. Key learning points: - Climate change is driven by human activity - specifically, an increase in greenhouse gases. - Climate change will have significant...

Pupil outcome: I can understand that the UK is affected by weather hazards and that there is evidence that weather is becoming more extreme. Key learning points: - The weather in the UK can be hazardous. - The UK is affected by a number...

Pupil outcome: I can explain what a carbon footprint is and how we can reduce it. Key learning points: - Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to warmer temperatures on Earth. - A carbon footprint...

Pupil outcome: I can describe the impact of a growing population on our planet and make predictions for the future. Key learning points: - Population growth is the increase in the number of humans on Earth over time. - The growing...

Pupil outcome: I can describe how greenhouse gases trap heat around Earth. Key learning points: - The atmosphere is a mixture of gases around Earth. - Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that makes up about 0.04% of the atmosphere and is...

Pupil outcome: I can make notes about deforestation in the Amazon rainforest and its links to climate change to answer an essay question. Key learning points: - Before we write an essay, we need to research the subject, making notes that...

Pupil outcome: I can describe how renewable energy resources can be used to generate electricity. Key learning points: - Renewable energy resources will not run out because they are replenished more quickly than we use them up -...

Pupil outcome: I can write the conclusion of an essay, including a range of linguistic features. Key learning points: - In our essay, the conclusion reflects the essay title, bringing the information from previous paragraphs together. -...

Pupil outcome: I can recognise relationships between bivariate data represented on a scatter graph. Key learning points: - The distribution of data points may suggest positive correlation. - The distribution of data points may suggest...

Pupil outcome: I can effectively summarise and communicate conclusions to a statistical problem. Key learning points: - Conclusions can be drawn from statistical summaries and graphical representations. - Conclusions are understood to be...

Scientists know that greenhouse gases from human activities are warming the Earth and causing major changes in the environment. Dr. Jennifer Francis explains that for thousands of years, Earth’s temperature was mostly stable due to...

The oceans are very important in climate change because they take in almost 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases and a lot of carbon dioxide. This makes the oceans warmer and more acidic, which has led to record-low sea ice,...

This video discusses the importance of studying climate change and the efforts of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) to improve our understanding of the Earth's climate. Through the establishment of monitoring facilities...

This video highlights the impact of climate change on vulnerable Pacific nations like Kiribati and the melting permafrost in Siberia. It discusses the importance of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement aimed at reducing...

Both climate models and the laws of physics are clear: more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere means warmer air and oceans, which means more energy for bigger, stronger hurricanes. So why haven’t we seen a clear signal from climate...

For this episode we wanted to see where we are in terms of “business as usual,” and if we are still headed towards an apocalypse of sorts. Or if, perhaps, all of the technological innovations in renewables and EVs along with new climate...

The term climate change is used to denote the long-term changes in the weather patterns in a given region. Another term often interchanged with climate change is global warming. Global warming is formally defined as a rise in Earth's...

Climate Change is increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters all around the world. And in the United States, more and more people seem to be moving to the places that are projected to be most impacted by climate change,...

Large-scale nuclear fusion is one of the ultimate goals of science which has yet to be achieved. How does nuclear fusion work and is a future likely in which we can reproduce the power of a star on Earth? Earth Science - Earth's...

Without the greenhouse effect, our planet would be too cold to inhabit, but it's currently a major cause of global warming. What is the greenhouse effect, and why is it such a conundrum? Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points....

How is this powerful and controversial energy source produced? Do the advantages outweigh the dangers of nuclear power? Earth Science - Earth's Resources - Learning Points. Nuclear power is created using uranium, and small amounts can...
