In the next couple of weeks, I will be hosting three sessions about climate change with Year 10 students (14-15 years old), at the Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge.
I will be giving a short talk explaining the relationship between climate change, evolution and extinction and then we will play the board game that I have created based on my research.
Learning how climate changes impact animal species gives a better understanding of the actual threats linked to the current climate emergency. Understanding such processes through a game makes the students’ experience more engaging and less stressful than it would be when following a lecture or a talk.
