This interdisciplinary resource is developed by SatSchool using current research and development from global scientific communities. The packs are structured by key ideas and includes prompts or questions and activities throughout the document, to encourage active engagement with these ideas. The ocean is the foundation of all life on Earth, and our planet ecosystems are dependent on the health of the oceans to support and sustain them. However, our actions and way of life is impacting the oceans. This pack includes Oceans 1, Oceans 2, Oceans 3 and Oceans 4 as a collective resource. However, due to the module size and depth these components may also be taught individually. These individual components can be found on our author dashboard. Learning Outcomes: (SCN 3-01a, SCN 3-05b, SCN 4-05b, SCN 4-06a, SCN 4-20a, SCN 4-20b, SOC 3-08a, SOC 4-09b, SOC 4-11a, SOC 4-12b) This resource created by Penny Clarke, Jenny Crocks, Phoebe Hudson and adapted by Molly Wickett, is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

This resource is made up of informational power points focussing on earth observation technology and activity packs which guide students through the interpretation of satellite data to observe the effects of deforestation, human activity, seasons and climate change. This is an interdisciplinary resource which includes historical background, graphical and map data, with regular pauses for students to make written considerations of the observed geography and events. The activity packs also provide opportunities for students to develop their technical skills and gain awareness of the worldwide environment and the impacts of human action on the environment. This resource is suggested as a third and fourth level science resource (suggested ages 10 - 16).

The Cryosphere module introduces what the Cryosphere is, the effects of climate change upon the ice, and the ecosystems it is home to. The Cryosphere 2 Antarctic, ice sheets and shelves, and how these are changing. The Cryosphere 3 then explores the Arctic, glaciers and ice caps, and optical and multispectral remote sensing. Each subsection keeps in mind the growing question of climate change and the effect this will have on the Cryosphere in these locations, and what we could do to monitor or combat this change. These principles are explored through Earth Observation and technological developments, and how this data is presented and analysed by scientists. This resource makes accessible complex ideas about the atmosphere, what it’s composed of and how we can measure this. The age range is adaptable to learners aged 7-14. Learning outcomes Cryosphere 1: SCN 2-08b: By investigating floating and sinking of objects in water, I can apply my understanding of buoyancy to solve a practical challenge. SCN 2-15a: By contributing to investigations into familiar changes in substances to produce other substances, I can describe how their characteristics have changed.

This resource is a set of three lessons for children learning at the first SCQF level, inspired by the work of environmental heroes David Attenborough, Greta Thunberg and Poppy Okotcha. Each lesson begins with a brief storytelling of the person’s work and aims, followed by learning through art and craft activities based on nature and the environment. These activities encourage the children to consider, imagine and feel empowered to work towards the future that they want for the world. The children can develop their appreciation of nature and the ways in which humans interact with the natural environment. Through activities including nature journaling, crafting planters and storyboard or poster making, the students can apply their creative and observational skills whilst learning about the world. The resource cover document gives a fully detailed overview of the resource.

This teaching block of five lessons revolves around the idea of scientific testing and psychology. The students will be introduced to the “Scottish Water Company” and their mission to find out how a new water-based sports drink can improve psychological abilities. The students will learn about three areas of psychology; perception, memory, and reaction time to find a possible psychology experiment for the water. Once the children find that they can measure and test reaction time, they will begin to look at questions about scientific testing, and then design their own test. The series will conclude with the finding that the water was no more than tap water, which the children can present in writing or verbally. This resource is suggested as a second level science resource and relates mainly to SCQF level 2 Experiences and Outcomes. However it could be used with classes working at first or third level, or even be used alongside a different curriculum with minor adaptations.

This module explores density across solids, liquids and gases. It then examines global Ocean circulation, patterns and changes caused by climate change. It relates these changes to density, building on the scientific knowledge of this to explain increasing salinity and temperature. Learners are asked to analyse visualisations of this data, looking at globally mapped salinity, temperature and density. This module is the fourth and final module in the Oceans series, which follow on and build upon this knowledge to give learners a comprehensive understanding and ability to think creatively, scientifically and critically about studying the Oceans. You can also find the collective Oceans module , with all the modules in one place, on our author dashboard. Learning outcomes: SCN 3-01a: I can sample and identify living things from different habitats to compare their biodiversity and can suggest reasons for their distribution. SCN 3-05b: I can explain some of the processes which contribute to climate change and discuss the possible impact of atmospheric change on the survival of living things. SCN 3-19a: Through experimentation, I can identify indicators of chemical reactions having occurred. I can describe ways of controlling the rate of reactions and can relate my findings to the world around me. SCN 4-08b: Through experimentation, I can explain floating and sinking in terms of the relative densities of different materials. SOC 3-08a: I can identify the possible consequences of an environmental issue and make informed suggestions about ways to manage the impact.

A set of five lesson plans and materials, based around identifying and cataloguing British tree leaves. This resource is suggested as a second level science resource, in which students gain awareness of the importance of trees to humans and the environment. These activities, grouped into hour long lessons, are based around the storyline of a developer who intends replace a forest with a new shopping centre. The children are tasked with researching whether this is a good idea by researching local woodlands and the importance of trees. The children then communicate their findings along with supporting evidence to the landowner. Through this resource children can develop their knowledge of and appreciation for the natural environment around them. The children can then apply this knowledge in a series of activities linking in with the Curriculum for Excellence Experiences, Outcomes and Benchmarks. The Resource Cover document gives a detailed overview of the resource, and lesson plans are contained in the Teacher’s Guide document.
