Climate Change

A series of sessions designed to investigate the different impacts of climate change and whether or not climate change is as serious an issue as scientists would have us believe.   Information will be collected in the student booklet throughout the sessions. Students will then write a government report detailing their findings.

The credibility session will be examining if climate change is a myth. It will involve harnessing the power of the RAVEN to evaluate whether or not climate change is the biggest scam of modern times.

The miniature greenhouse session will involve carrying out a range of experiments designed to investigate the impact of carbon dioxide emissions.  These experiments include designing a greenhouse, testing your own carbon dioxide and carrying out a balloon race.

Operation hurricane will test your ability to withstand a natural disaster while investigating climate change.  You will be set a number of challenges which you will have to complete in your teams.

In the ice sculpture session students will examine the impact of climate of change on the natural environment.  This will involve individually carving into blocks and sheets of ice and working together to produce an ice structure or sculpture.  This session is aimed to demonstrate what we stand to loose as a result of global warming.
