Climate change and Sustainability activities (COP26)
This crossword and wordsearch resource are ideal brainteasers for use as a starter or recap of sustainability. It is very relevant to COP26 and to **Science week 2021. **
Ideal cross curricular resources that can be used in science, geography or CSPE.
A QR code allows students to use their mobile device to access the UN website revising the** SDG’s** and what they stand for.
**
Answers included.**
This resource is also available as part of a complete lesson on COP26. You can view it at the following link

Climate change COP 26 Comprehension
These resources are designed to allow teachers to provide a summary of the **COP26 **summit to their students.
Two options of “do now” activities are available in the form of
**- a wordsearch
a crossword**
(answers are included for both)
For the main body of the lesson is a comprehension in the form of a fictional newspaper “The Environmental Times.”
This provides detailed, student friendly summaries of the COP26 summit and the impact it will have.
The two page broadsheet can be printed and** analysed** as a whole class activity or set as independent learning.
Two styles of questions are included to assess learning of the lesson.
Short answer
True and false
(answers included)
Teachers could then complete the lesson by asking students to write to their local MP about their thoughts and feelings of the summit.
