Card Sort - Human & Natural Causes of Climate Change

If you are looking for a great interactive resource that will help your students understand the human and natural causes of Climate Change then look no further. This great little card sort has been field tested over many years and is great for promoting debate, discussion and can be used as a starter, plenary and consolidation activity.

When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a one page Word document which includes 14 statement cards which can be sorted under 2 heading cards labelled ‘Human Causes’ and ‘Natural Causes.’

I usually get my students to either cut out the cards or colour code the heading cards. Once them have fed back their results, we then stick the cards into our books. We then use the finished card sort and review triangle as the basis for an extended piece of writing.

I originally designed this lesson for a low ability GCSE group but it could also be used with KS3 and KS2. My wife is a primary school teacher and has used it several times.

The aims and objectives for this lesson are:

Theme: Natural Hazards
Know: What is climate change?
Understand: What is the difference between human and natural causes?
Evaluate: How do they contribute to greenhouse effect?

WILF – What Am I Looking For?
Can You Describe: What is climate change?
Can You Explain: What is the difference between human and natural causes?
Can You Evaluate: How do they contribute to greenhouse effect?

If you like this resource then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop. We aim to produce cheap and affordable resources for either the price of a good cup of coffee so that you can spend more time doing the things that you want. We also pay all our contributors the living wage for their work.

Anyway, have fun and stay in touch via social media for the latest updates.

Kind Regards
