Climate Detectives Kids Activities 2023-2024

Activity: From the fround and from the sky – Analysing and understanding images of planet Earth

2nd and 3rd Primary Schools of Nea Erythraia   Î‘ÎžÎźÎœÎ±   Greece

Describe what your team has done and tell us more about what your team has learnt:

With the driving question “How do we know that climate change is real?” the students were asked to investigate the scientific methods for monitoring and observing climate change. Through a brainstorming activity, they recognized the importance of observations, measurements, and data from both terrestrial and satellite sources. They explored in plenary ESA satellite images, analyzed photos to visualize climate change. In teams, they explored specific climate change impacts using ESA’s “Climate from Space Stories” worksheets. Topics like “Coasts Under Threat” and “Biodiversity and habitat loss” allowed students to examine consequences of temperature rise and the role of satellite imagery.

In a collaborative plenary session, students shared findings, discussing how satellite images and data contribute to understanding climate change’s effects. Through this process, they learned not only about the reality of climate change but also about the crucial role of scientific observation and analysis in addressing this global challenge.
