Context for Learning:   Climate Change   Class P5/6

Social Subjects Outcomes
From a variety of resources I can produce a report to inform others on some of the causes of climate change and its possible impact on people’s live.

I can discuss why it is important to me and to the future of the world that alternatives to fossil fuels are developed.  I can identify examples of where these are used in Scotland today and present this information to others.

Technologies Outcomes
I can investigate the use and development of renewable and sustainable energy to gain an awareness of their growing importance in Scotland or beyond.

Having analysed how my lifestyle can impact on the environment and Earth’s resources I can make suggestions about how to live in a more sustainable way.

I can create, capture and manipulate sounds, text and images to communicate experiences, ideas and information in creative and engaging ways.

When exploring technologies in the world around me, I can use what I learn to help design or improve my ideas or products.
