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 identify and use pathetic fallacy to describe a setting and create a specific atmosphere. Key learning points: - Mormor's cabin is very isolated and the surrounding forest is dark. - A strange boy is living in the...

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 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. -...

As the planet warms, there's more water vapor in the air, which makes storms stronger and causes heavier rain and snow. This extra heat and humidity can also make it dangerous to live in some places, especially at night when bodies can’t...

The Arctic is warming quickly, and this is changing the jet stream—a strong wind high in the sky that affects weather. The jet stream is becoming slower and more wavy, which causes extreme weather to last longer, like very cold winters...

Effects of Sea Level Rising. This is a clip from the Simba Creative documentary, Without Leaving Anyone Behind.

For centuries, humans have depended on, adapted to and modified the natural environment to survive and thrive. But the environment has also shaped the ways that we live.

The team investigates the destructive power of hailstones, exploring how they form and how they can cause significant damage. Through experiments with supercooled water and high-speed impact tests, they simulate hailstorms to see their...

This video highlights the importance of researching and understanding the impact of flooding and extreme weather conditions on different societies. British scientists are collaborating with colleagues in the US and Europe to develop...

A “tipping point” is when a system, with just a small amount of additional energy, is pushed from one stable state to another suddenly and dramatically. This can be a chair falling backwards. Or it can be a major earth system collapsing....

The weather down here can get pretty crazy. But we got curious and asked: just how extreme can weather actually get on planet earth? So we decided to travel the world in search of answers and discovered not only some fascinating answers,...

Climate scientists are clear that we need to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And in order to do this, we’re going to need to electrify everything and green the grid. But what will this clean, green future look like? Can we pull...

With unprecedented heat waves and record-breaking global temperatures, it’s hard to believe that there might be a place on earth that has actually COOLED since the industrial revolution.

Arctic air is warming, causing scientists to worry that melting arctic ice and snow could also lead to a sudden permafrost thaw and release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that forms a climate tipping point or feedback loop....

As our seas rise and hurricanes get stronger, it is important that we understand more about storm surge – the most dangerous part of a hurricane. In this episode of Weathered we tell the story behind the best video we’ve ever seen of...

Sea level rise is a problem that is garnishing increasing attention among both scientists and the media. And as climate change continues to warm the earth, the current rate of 1.4 inches per decade is projected to increase, with NOAA...

Over the last decade, the American Northeast has seen more than a 200% increase in the frequency of large, disruptive snowstorms. This trend surprised nearly everybody, including many of the top experts, as they had been expecting a...

For decades, Antarctic sea ice trends seemed to defy climate change, until…they didn’t. In just two years, Antarctica lost as much sea ice as the Arctic lost in three decades. Statistics say that the record low sea ice in 2023 was a 1 in...

NOAA’s 2020 Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disaster report showed a notable uptick in extremes. In 2021, 10.6% of all-weather stations reported record temperatures. And with the continued emission of carbon into the atmosphere, this...
