Designed as a facilitated Continuing Professional Development (CPD) session, this free guide helps teachers of 11 to 14s to bring climate and ocean science into their teaching with confidence. It provides a complete workshop flow – discussion prompts, tasks and planning activities – plus clear subject knowledge on climate basics, the ocean’s role in the carbon cycle and blue carbon.

Use it two ways

  • Lead a CPD session – follow the session overview, set group tasks, and co‑design a lesson in 25 minutes.
  • Self‑study – work through the explanations, prompts and links to strengthen your subject knowledge at your own pace.

What teachers will gain

Practical strategies to blend values‑led and knowledge‑building approaches.
Ready‑to‑use activities and prompts for Science, Geography and PSHE.
A clearer framework for addressing climate anxiety and building student agency.
