Climate change film competition

Learning and Teaching Scotland is developing a new Climate Change website for primary schools. It will bring together a series of web-based activities which will allow pupils at first and second levels to explore and learn about climate change, how it will affect them and what they can do about it.

We would like to have some demonstration clips built into the site. These will include recording weather, the water cycle, movement of warm and cold air, and adaptations to change. We are challenging pupils to come up with innovative and creative approaches to this.

The short clips can be up to a maximum of 1 minute and can be shot on anything from a camera phone to home video or professional equipment, or can be done in animation.

Contributions should be submitted by 21 December 2009. All will be exhibited in the Glow Sustainable Education Group and the most suitable from an educational point of view will be incorporated into the Primary Climate Change website.

Flip cameras will be awarded to those schools whose clips are used on the Climate Change website.

For more information on the experiments and activities, and advice on how to submit entries, please contact Jennifer McDougall at J.McDougall@LTScotland.org.uk.
