How to use this resource

This climate change quiz is ideal for Earth Day on 22 April or World Environment Day on 5 June. Use it as a starter for a KS3 geography lesson on climate change or to spark discussion with your tutor group during form time.

Do your students know how human activities impact global temperature and contribute to the greenhouse effect? Can they identify the key greenhouse gases and the places most affected by global warming?

The questions also touch on the loss of biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions from food waste, and the countries with the highest carbon emissions.

This thought-provoking PowerPoint quiz includes tips on how students can reduce their own carbon footprint and help their school increase its sustainability.

Teachers can easily adapt the resource to suit different year groups and abilities, making it an excellent addition to any scheme of work focusing on climate change and human impacts on the environment.

Students are guided to deepen their understanding of the ways in which human behaviour affects the environment and leads to consequences that can be reduced through informed decision making.
