Climate justice and fieldwork: Human geographies of climate change at key stage 3
This scheme of work focuses on climate change, human geography and climate justice designed for Year 9 pupils, but can be adapted for all of Key Stage 3. These materials have been co-developed between the University of Cambridge and two schools in Peterborough and Stevenage. These materials are designed to introduce students to ideas of climate justice and develop fieldwork skills in an accessible and low-cost way. The scheme of work brings contemporary research and debates in human geography into the classroom. The lessons, readings and teacher guide provide opportunities to adapt these materials to suit learner needs.
