Pie Charts and Fairtrade Chocolate

(1)
Students match the names of common chocolate bars to pie charts of their ingredients, and discuss how different proportions are shown in the diagrams. They then draw their own pie charts for different chocolate bars with varying numbers of sectors. Students discuss the companies/manufacturers involved in selling chocolate and discuss how businesses interact. Students then look at the production of chocolate from farmer to consumer, and create a pie chart to show how much they think each “person” in the chain receives. They then are given a role and asked to justify their share of the profits before completing another pie chart based on what they think fair shares of the price of a bar of chocolate should be. Finally, the actual percentage shares for each player in the cocoa chain are revealed and students create another pie chart to reflect this. They then discuss what their three pie charts together show. Understand that individual actions are important as part of making a difference globally. Know that some ‘players’ in global production chains benefit more than others. Explain Fairtrade as an example of action to address poverty and inequality.

Standard Form - Forests and Climate Change

(1)
Students begin by revising the basic rules of Standard Form and when it is used. They are given a variety of formats and asked to explain which ones are written in Standard Form. Students are then given some text with several numbers written in Standard Form to convert into ordinary numbers within the context of a brief text about changes to forest area globally over a 25 year period. Next, students perform calculations to consider whether countries have lost or gained forest. Finally, students are asked to consider afforestation that has taken place and current trends within the climate change debate. They are asked to consider the advantages and limitations of afforestation world record attempts, all using Standard Form. This lesson includes a slide that can be printed for students, which contains practice questions using all aspects of Standard Form (including calculations and converting “near misses” into Standard Form) Explain why the protection & renewal of carbon sinks are essential strategies to slow climate change. Students can explain the importance of people participating in collective action on climate change and give examples of successful collective actions.

How to teach climate change in maths.

Working with climate specialists and teaching professionals, we have created a set of free resources for teachers to help increase confidence in teaching issues related to climate change. Resources include - summaries of the key issues, learning outcomes, a suite of lessons and a whole school framework for teaching a climate curriculum. How can young people help to shape the future? Do you want to be part of creating a new future? We are told so many things about Climate Change. The United Nations is warning that it is a systemic threat to human and other life forms, which can only be solved by global collaboration. We know for certain, it will touch every aspect of the life of young people currently in school in the UK, and, every young person across the world. Climate change has become a Climate Crisis. One way out of the crisis is to make sure young people are ‘climate literate’ and equipped to address it. We hope that these resources will help.

Name ways in which humans reduce the amount of land available for other animals and plants. The decay or burning of the peat releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Explain the ecological impact of the destruction of peat bogs, and other areas of peat to produce consumer products. Including the destruction of peat bogs, and other areas of peat to produce garden compost, reduces the area of this habitat and thus the variety of different plant, animal and microorganism species that live there (biodiversity). Evaluate given information about methods that can be used to tackle problems caused by human impacts on the environment. Students can explain why the protection and renewal of carbon sinks are essential strategies to slow climate change and name some different types.

Prophecy and Climate Change

(0)
Students firstly examine the definition of the word ‘prophecy’. The definition is broken down further with each key word being examined thus ensuring a clear understanding of the term. Using this understanding, students then consider how it might feel to be a prophet and how a prophet may be seen by others, making notes in and around a person outline. Students are then introduced to some prophets (3 religious prophets from Judaism / Christianity / Islam; 2 modern-day, non-religious prophets). Students may wish to add notes to their person outline, using information from the case studies. They then further explore whether it’s always easy to be a prophet: Greta Thunberg is looked at as an example of how acting in a prophetic way (speaking out about what you believe to be the truth that you think that mainstream society is not acting on) can bring challenges and attacks. Students consider whether speaking out about climate change might be called prophecy for our times, and why this is often an unpopular message for people to hear due to the lifestyle changes it may force them to consider. Students are then introduced to a range of ‘speaking out’ scenarios and are asked to consider whether they would find it easy to speak prophetically (to voice a truth that may be unpopular). This is discussed as a whole class before ending on two final reflection questions: – What do I think needs speaking out about in Students can explain the significance of the threat that Climate Change poses to life-forms on earth. They are aware that the speed of change is exceeding most scientific forecasts Students know that what individuals and the global community as a whole do now, will determine the probable future in terms of life on Earth.
