Climate for schools
The CCI KE project has developed 10 education resources packs (ERPs) for teachers and students of primary and secondary educations in Europe, freely available in five European languages.
View
Is ozone good or bad?
The learning activities in this pack help pupils learn about the impact of ozone on life on Earth.
View
The water cycle
This learning resource will help create understanding and appreciation of the unique water cycle for primary school students, teaching them about freshwater as the most valuable natural resource for all life on Earth.
View
Country under threat
Through bucket-scale experiments and exercises, you will be able to understand the process of global warming and how it affects our oceans, experience the consequences of sea-level rise for people all over the world, and learn about using satellite data to detect trends in sea level.
View
A passage opens
This learning resource describes the effects of climate change on sea ice. You will discover how the sea ice is an essential component of the climate system and learn why the Polar Regions warm up quicker than the global average.
View
The carbon cycle
This learning resource explores the natural and human sources of CO2, seasonal cycles of carbon and how satellite data are used to map CO2 for the whole earth.
View
Taking the pulse of the planet
In this set of activities, students will learn how various types of electromagnetic radiation are used to observe how our planet is changing.
View
Taking the pulse of the planet (14–16 year olds)
Pupils will learn about different applications of earth observation for monitoring the planet and assessing natural cycles and abnormal trends, leading to climate change.
View
Planetary heat pumps
Pupils will learn about how the oceans influence climate on land and their role in planetary heat regulation.
View
Urban hotspots
Pupils will learn about different applications of earth observation for monitoring the planet and assessing land surface temperature focusing in urban land cover.
View
Biodiversity and habitat loss
This set of activities begins with a reading assignment that introduces vocabulary and ideas that are key to considering the relationship between climate change and ecosystems.
View
Climate for Science Excellence
Through our cutting-edge, appealing and future-proof educational solutions, the CCI KE has developed Climate Training for Science Excellence (CTSE)
View
Tertiary training kit
This tertiary training kit (TTK) is intended to be used for distance education and curriculum development, exploring how to use satellites to support the climate science community and policy-makers.
View
Massive Open Online Course
This MOOC will explore how we use satellites for Earth Observation to support the climate science community and policy-makers, learning about ESA’s Climate Change Initiative and using its data on the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs).
View
Summer School
The summer school take places in the Netherlands, aiming to equip participants with the competency to evaluate climate change using satellite data and use software to analyse essential climate variables.
View
Climate for the public
Playful games to understand climate change and the role of satellite data in monitoring it
View
Monitoring game
Experience the difficulties of monitoring many variables at once and thereby develop an idea of how satellites monitor different climate variables
View
Biodiversity game
Mimic the reality of complex, necessary interactions between species and habitats
View
Albedo game
Experience how changing albedo influences the rate of melting sea ice under different climate change scenarios using just paper and dice
