Coronavirus Work: Year 9 Climate Change Lessons 1 + 2

Where is this taken?

Hello Year 9. Well this is a strange way to start your GCSE isnt it? All your lessons will be on show my homework. This website is just a place for resources, like photos pages from a book videos etc that you will need to understand and complete the work.

Firstly, the text book is here. The chapter we want is from pages 194-215. So you will need to scroll through the rivers and coasts chapters to get to the climate change one, which is toward the back of this pdf document. GCSE text book 

Here is an excellent video clip from a full length documentary made a former vice president of the USA, AL Gore. It talks of ice ages and the link to carbon emissions. It shows how global temperature is completely linked to the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. It is not simple to understand. So watch this carefully. Pause and rewind parts if you need to.

And there is a short video about glacial and inter glacial periods from Professor Iain Stewart from the BBC on this page too.

Lesson 1 resources are on SMHW but I have also attached them here in case that helps.
