About

Climate Science and Weather

The Pod and the Met Office have joined forces to develop a range of high quality and scientifically accurate educational resources and teaching materials to help educate young people about Climate Science and Weather.

These resources aim to

  • give young people context to their 'green activities' and a reason to want to change their behaviour and live more sustainable lives
  • promote Science Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects as GCSE subject choices and as potential interesting and exciting career options.

We currently have an information pack, assembly presentation and 'Degrees of Change' activity, which was designed to educate children about the increase in national and global temperatures over the past decades. The resources will also make children aware about how a warmer climate could impact the world in the future.
