Pupils will firstly be given some data on the rise in global temperature over the last 150 years, they will firstly need to plot this data on a graph and then will need to answer a set of questions.

Pupils will then focus on the different ways in which global climate change will affect the environment, each pupils will be given a different card of information and they will need to walk around the room and share with each other to complete the table of effects.

The next part of the lesson will look at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, firstly students will watch a video which focuses on carbon dioxide emission reduction. Pupils will need to answer some questions whilst watching the video which can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. After this, pupils will told ways in which methane emissions can be reduced.

Pupils will now complete a ‘Think > Pair > Share’ task whereby they discuss what ‘Carbon footprint’ might mean and will try to come up with a definition, the actual definition is then revealed and pupils can mark their work, making corrections where needed. Pupils are now asked to come up with a mind map listing all the ways in which their actions contribute to their annual carbon footprint, once they have created a list they need to come up with an action plan of how to tackle this and reduce their overall carbon footprint. This task can be self or peer assessed using the mark scheme provided.

The final part of the lesson is an outline of problems faced when trying to reduce your carbon footprint, pupils need to understand these issues.

The plenary task gives pupils a list of answers, for each answer pupils need to come up with the question that would lead to that answer.
