How will water circulation and flooding change?
This activity for students asks them to collate and present data on global atmospheric circulation maps and also look at the effect of a 3 degree increase in global temperatures on the mean precipitation minus evaporation (P-E) levels. Students then have to link this information to changes in the flow of water...
Impacts of polar climate change
In this resource students are asked to extract data from a fact sheet on the impact of global warming on the Polar regions and present it in the form of an annotated spider diagram.
Is our weather becoming more extreme?
This set of activities for students builds toward them being able to answer the question 'Assess whether the UK is becoming more extreme in the 21st century.' Initially students are asked to define the terms 'rare' and 'extreme' and then order the layers of the Earth's atmosphere. This is followed by tasks to:...

The language used is appropriate for pupils aged 14 to 16 and can be used as a reading comprehension exercise. Pupils have to...
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...
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...
