Yesterday I had another opportunity to do outreach about climate change with two groups of Year 8 students (12-13 years old), at the Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge.
As usual, the session started with a short talk explaining the relationship between climate change, evolution and extinction. After that, the students had explored these tipics by playing “Climate change” my board game.
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.
