In collaboration with The New Zealand Association of Science Educators (NZASE) and Associate Professor Chris Eames from the University of Waikato, the Science Learning Hub Pokapū Akoranga Pūtaiao has produced a series of recorded webinars to support educators with Climate Change Education. The first session builds an understanding of the basics of climate change, followed by two sessions that explore a variety of pedagogical approaches that support climate change education at a secondary and primary level.
The Science Learning Hub Pokapū Akoranga Pūtaiao has an extensive range of other resources about Climate Change. This planning pathway interactive shows a diversity of focus areas that may help engage students with the topic, such as using evidence and models, the role of oceans, sea level rise, and finding solutions.
