Providing free net zero lesson resources for teachers looking to promote the importance of climate change for GCSE Physics, Geography and Business Studies
The Hydrogen Hub have used their knowledge to develop this fantastic lesson pack on fuel cells. Designed for teaching GCSE Chemistry specification parts AQA 4.5.2.2, Edexcel 5.25C, 5.26C, 5.27C, OCR C6.2o, C6.2p, C6.2q. This pack contains all of the resources for a lesson on this topic. The presentation includes animated videos to explain the context of fuel cells to tackle climate change, as a hook for pupils, as well as teaching the specifics needed to develop the required knowledge on fuel cells. There are also other tasks including exam-style questions (with mark scheme), a gap-fill exercise alongside the videos, a structured debate, a HW competition and revision cards. The resource is fully differentiated.
Please refer to the lesson plan for information on how the various tasks are designed to work. All feedback is appreciated, please let us know if we can improve the lesson any further. A massive thanks to Arval and BNP Paribas who have made this resource possible.
This lesson pack is part of a series of free sustainability resources produced by BNP Paribas UK in partnership with Gemserv. You can access the other resources in the series below:

BNP Paribas have partnered with Gemserv and Teach First to develop this fantastic lesson pack – Renewable Energy and Electricity: Powering a Net Zero Future. For GCSE Physics students, this material covers the primary sources of energy and electricity, including renewables such as wind, solar, tidal, and hydro, and nuclear as well as fossil fuel-based sources, such as oil, natural gas, and coal. A bespoke animated video is included to help cover the introductory material within the topic.
A range of tasks are included, a presentation for general usage in a class-based environment, exam-style questions, and a comprehension exercise provide the basis for teaching, whilst additional materials, such as a homework and poster task, combine to create an engaging and informative lesson. A tailored lesson plan is provided to help guide teachers throughout the material
The material covers key themes taught across multiple exam board specifications. Specifically targeting:
• AQA 4.1.3
• Edexcel 3.13, 3.14
• OCR P8.2A, P8.2B

‘How to Live Sustainably’ aims to support students in Years 3-6 (7-11 years old) to live more sustainably. It encourages them to think positively but critically about their choices and how they can be more sustainable both at home and at school and leave the world a better place for future generations!
The lesson teaches easy and simple ways to save energy, water and food and to reuse and recycle consumer items they use every day. It introduces key concepts around sustainability, biodiversity and carbon. The lesson is centered around two main tasks:
A quiz that enables the children to measure how sustainable they are, in competiton with their peers.
A drawing task and sustainability action plan that encourages the children to think about sustainable changes they can make and express their artistic talents!
The lesson is designed to be fun and touches a broad curriculum, including Maths, Geography, Art and Citizenship.
We have included the PowerPoint presentation and downloadable templates for the Sustainability Action Plan.
We hope you enjoy the lesson!

BNP Paribas have partnered with Gemserv to develop this fantastic lesson pack – Sustainable Business Financing for a Net Zero Future. For GCSE Business Studies students, this material covers the primary sources of finance available to businesses and explores the decisions available to them. A bespoke animated video is included to help cover the introductory material within the topic, including case studies of business decisions aiming to finance sustainable trends within their organisation.
A range of tasks are included. A presentation is provided for general usage in a class-based environment, whilst exam-style questions, and a comprehension exercise provide the basis for teaching. The lesson concludes with a group-exercise, that asks students to roleplay as businesses faced with a financial choice – the primary goal of which is to explore the concept of risk and return.
The lesson will last for approximately an hour-and-a-half if taught with all components, however, it has been designed in such a way as to be suitable as a shorter or longer session. We have also provided a tailored lesson plan to help guide teachers through the material. The material covers key themes taught across multiple exam board specifications. Specifically targeting:
• Edexcel: 2.1.1, 2.1.3 and 2.1.4
• AQA: Sections 1,2 and 6
• OCR: Topic 5 (Finance), Topic 6 (Influences on Business), Section 5 (Financial Information and Decisions) and Section 6 (External Influences on Business Activity)

‘Sustainable Cities: Air Pollution in Urban Environments’ aims to support students in Years 9, 10, or 11 (13-16 years old) with their learning for GCSE Geography, focussing on the sustainable urban development sections of the curriculum. This 1 hour lesson is primarily delivered by teachers. A series of fun, interactive and informative activities will help pupils to learn about the sustainability challenges cities face, strategies for improving their sustainability, the role of governments in setting regulations, frameworks for improving the sustainability of urban environments and how efforts to improve their sustainability impact different groups.
The lesson takes an in-depth look at air pollution as an applied case study. Critical to making urban environments more sustainable is the role of businesses. The lesson addresses BNP Paribas’ role in promoting more sustainable cities and tackling air pollution through their work. It will be accompanied by a video animation.
