Home learning: extreme weather student project

Extreme weather is one of the biggest threats facing our world. To minimise the impact, communities, economies and health care systems need to respond and adapt. But how?

This six-lesson scheme of work explores the answer to this question and many more. These activities encourage learners to:

• Investigate how extreme weather affects different communities
• Consider links to climate change
• Evaluate different responses that the world can make
• Reflect on the responsibilities countries have to each other

There are opportunities to make connections with the COVID-19 pandemic and draw parallels between different crises.

This scheme of work is student-led, which means it is perfect for use at home independently, with a sibling or with parental input.
