Coastineers Lesson Plan - Climate Change and the Coast

This STEM lesson plan combines science, engineering and geography KS3 learning and GCSE principles. The purpose of the lesson is to introduce students to climate change and, in particular, to gain an understanding of climate change impacts at the coast. This lesson introduces climate change, coastal impacts and explores sea level rise as well as coastal change. The lesson is complimented by a hands on student practical experiment: the Coastineers Sea Level Rise Challenge. This simple kit allows students to engineer their own adaptation strategies, using basic materials. Alternatively, the lesson works just as well with our simple YouTube video, followed by discussion. Just delete out the slides you don’t need. The Coastineers have been working on the coast for a combined 30 years as engineers and scientists, and we hope you enjoy this lesson.
