Climate Change

 Welcome to Climate Change. This field trip took place in 2020. The content in this trip is available for ongoing use.

Supported by the Ministry of Education/Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) | Toitū te Whenua.

Introduction 

As one of the Map my Waahi series of LEARNZ field trips, we're inviting you to join an expedition of discovery to find out what climate change is all about.

Most people are concerned about what's happening to our planet and we want to get the scientific facts right from the people who really know. More importantly we want to know what we can do as individuals, as families and schools to turn things around.

On this expedition you're going to become a climate scientist. Part of your mission is to build your own story using some easy to use tech tools. This will be an empowering and fun opportunity to become part of the solution to climate change.

Note to Teachers and parents: Climate change can be a difficult topic for students and teachers. We will aim to keep the science simple and to emphasise our response to climate change.

Location

Travel to Wellington, our capital city and the home of many government agencies and organisations, each with its own story about what it is doing about climate change.

The Field Trip

The LEARNZ Team think that joining the NZASE and staying connected through the NZ Science Teacher will help you become a better teacher of science.
