Science and the Weather

Climate Change

Pupils from Frittenden Primary School have this term been investigating the subject of Climate Change.

To help learn more about our changing planet the pupils downloaded some of the practical activities from the Royal Meteorological Society website.

These activities included experiments on:

• Insulation
• freezing and melting
• Air conditioning.

At the end of the project the pupils published their results on the 'Weather Watch Making the News' website.

Their work included poems, PowerPoint presentations and photographs. Finally, to evaluate and share their results with others the pupils took part in a 'FlashMeeting' video conference with staff from the society.

During the FlashMeeting video conference with a tutor from the RMS the pupils displayed their work on the Flashboard and answered questions about Climate Change, the Seasons and Global Warming.

The Royal Meteorological Society website

The RMS website contains ideas and lesson plans to enhance the learning and teaching of weather. The material is grouped into weather subjects and each subject has two downloadable parts.
