Climate Change Teaching Opportunity for KS3 Are you a Teacher of KS 3 wanting to explore the issue of Climate Change, through Geography, Science or Citizenship? We are helping the New Economics Foundation to pilot a new activity box set, based on the Democs format. The box set includes a participative card game that takes up to an hour and a half. It explores the Key Information, Issues and Challenges facing us through Climate Change.  Young people are encouraged to see the situation from different perspectives and think about how the issue relates to their lives and what they can do.
