Energy worldwide & its affect on climate change

Aims:

• To understand the causes of climate change and how global energy use is affecting it
• To be aware of the environmental and social consequences of climate change
• The main task for the teacher in this activity will be to act as a facilitator for the class and to guide them in their role-play. Encourage the class to be creative.

You will need:

• Craft material (paper, scissors, stapler and staples, crepe paper)
• Print out the Roles Information and cut out one of each Role
• Flip chart
• Markers
• Ideas Sheet

To do:

• Divide your class into teams - give one role card to each team.
• Ask each team to read their card and present their position to the rest of the class.
• Invite the teams to use the ideas sheet to help gather more information for their position.
• Encourage teams to 'dress-up' to represent their roles.
• Once each team has presented their role, open the floor for a general discussion on an energy related topic of their choice or to debate: Climate change - the future looks clean and bright!
