KS3 Geography — Climate Change — Extension Pack

🌍 Stretch high achievers further with four ready-to-use enrichment activities on climate change — no preparation required. Climate change is the long-term shift in global temperatures and weather patterns, largely driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, and these tasks push students to apply that thinking, for KS3 students aged 11–14.

📦 What's included:

Vocabulary Matching (15 terms) — covering glacials, interglacials, Milankovitch cycles, mitigation, adaptation, enhanced greenhouse effect, climate sceptics, methane, deforestation, ice cores, sunspots, renewable energy, and fossil fuels

Challenge Quiz (25 marks) — a data analysis question comparing CO2 levels and global temperatures over 800,000 years, the dual cooling and warming effects of volcanic eruptions, an IPCC-referenced question on why 1.5°C matters, and a discussion on individual versus collective responsibility

Solomon Islands Case Study (20 marks) — six analysis questions on sea level rise, climate justice, adaptation challenges, and the political and economic dimensions of climate change

Teach It Back task — students write a comprehensive climate change mini-guide for a Year 6 audience, assessed with a detailed rubric

Full answer keys and marking guidance included for all four activities
