About the Climate Classroom

An independent multimedia climate-learning resource for Years 5–8, schools, families and curious young minds.

The Climate Classroom is an independent educational project exploring climate change clearly, calmly and without jargon. Designed for Years 5–8, it connects an illustrated book, classroom videos of about 12 minutes, audio, quizzes, discussion questions, printable classroom resources and teacher support into one understandable climate story.

The same explanations and progression of ideas support reading, watching, listening and discussion, at school or at home. The book includes curriculum mapping to relevant KS2 and early KS3 science, geography and related areas.

Read it. Watch it. Listen to it. Teach it.

Episodes draw on the long tradition of scientific enquiry and are grounded in authoritative, peer-reviewed evidence, with sources clearly cited. The aim is not to persuade or campaign, but explore climate change as a scientific and social issue.

Galileo's thermoscope and the early tools of enquiry – the roots of modern climate science.

The supporting online resources are free, with no subscription or paywall, because knowing how the climate works should be a public good. The book is published and available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions. Explore the book and choose your format. Teachers and families can also use the available videos, audio and classroom resources on their own. See the release schedule for the programme and episode resources for the materials available so far.
