Science in the Environment Pack 3: Atmosphere and Climate

Comments (0)

The University of York Science Education Group ensured that all the Science in the Environment packs were organised according to broad environmental themes. Within each pack, a number of specific contexts were used to introduce the science content. In addition, each pack focused on the acquisition of particular skills and introduced broader aspects of science or the environment.

Features of Pack 3
• Contexts: atmospheric circulation and climate; drought in southern Africa; atmospheric pollution
• Science Content: molecular-kinetic theory; atoms, molecules, radicals, ions; chemical reactions
• Skills Emphasised: numerical skills; analysis of data; use of IT
• Broader Dimensions: drawing conclusions from highly variable data and behaviour; use of models in science.

HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
