Your Carbon Footprint

A complete set of resources including a power point and set of student hand outs and worksheets to investigate what they know about carbon footprint and how they can work out theirs. This lesson could link to climate change and develops awareness of what we can all do. There are 5 different learning activities included, identifying and categorising key words in the starter, a whole class opinion line (with symbols to print out for this), an activity where students calculate their individual carbon footprint, a creative thinking task where students are given 15 energy saving tips hand out and have to illustrate them but using a limited number of words. Their is a peer assessment task and the review task encourages students to write a pledge about how they can reduce their carbon footprint which links back to the starter. Also the lesson can be easily differentiated and can fit with KS3 topics.
