Sustain/Ed - Chapter 6: Nature

Sustain/Education Learning Module
The Sustain/Ed Learning Module is an educational package which augments the KS2 curriculum in the UK, offering activities which reinforce awareness of sustainability and climate action while maintaining core learning outcomes.

Young people understand the climate problem. Let’s teach them the solutions

Chapter 6: Nature
In this chapter, students will be introduced to climate diversity around our planet, and how it dictates the lifestyles of people and the habitats of animals. An emphasis will be made on how the fine balance of conditions on Earth shape the lives of plants and animals (including humans!). Students will think about the possible changes to climate and weather, why these variations matter, and what we are doing to protect the natural environment. Students are encouraged to form ideas about how we can live in harmony with nature.

Targets:

• Students investigate how humans and animals adapt to live in different climates

• Students revisit how animals and plants form ecosystems which rely on their climate

• Students learn that nature can teach us how to live sustainably

• Students appreciate that the Earth is better off if we respect nature, and that we can work together to protect nature
