Global Science: Essential learning for a sustainable future

Global Science: Essential learning for a sustainable future

In this course we provide materials to integrate global issues such as climate change, sustainable ecosystems, food, water, energy, and health into the Primary Science Curriculum in an age-appropriate way.


We live in a complex, interconnected world where we share life systems and challenges -  this course relates to and supports the DfE Climate and Sustainability Strategy for Schools.

Outcomes:

  • To recognise the essential role that science education plays in creating a sustainable future world
  • To gain knowledge and confidence in teaching about climate change, biodiversity loss and sustainable systems in Primary Science
  • To understand the DfE Climate and Sustainability Strategy and how this can support and enrich the science curriculum
  • To build pupil critical thinking skills alongside scientific skills so they can question information and perspectives
  • To access quality, age-appropriate classroom resources for planning and progression of learning in Global Science
