The Office for Climate Education (OCE) presents a Teacher’s Guidebook that aims to support teachers in carrying out various activities on climate change and the ocean and cryosphere in their classrooms, and targets students of ages 9 to 15.
The guidebook contains activities which aim to developing scientific knowledge, but also environmental awareness and life skills, such as creative and critical thinking, decision-making and interpersonal skills. The resource is multidisciplinary, covering different disciplines of the natural and social sciences, arts and physical education.
The guide book includes four main parts:
Scientific Overview: a teacher-friendly overview of the scientific background needed in order to master the topics that will be discussed in the lessons;
Pedagogical Overview: a brief overview of the different approaches to learning that are proposed in the guidebook, as well as some hints on how to make the best out of this teaching resource;
Part 1 – We understand: a series of lessons are proposed, following the natural path of reasoning of the students which include different approaches to learning
Part 2 – We act: this second part of the class activities builds up on the knowledge and skills acquired in Part 1, and proposes a project-based learning approach.
