These free
toolkits look at climate and sea ice models, GPS and
cartography, how to predict future climate trends, and
how to present statistical evidence, giving readers the
chance to see familiar science and maths applied to
real-life problems. Each toolkit is made up of a
background article and two worksheets with guidance
notes for teachers.
The overview article can be read on its own, or used as
motivational material for the two worksheets. The
worksheets are designed to promote group discussion of
the topics, as well as provide hands-on activities.
