'How will rising sea level affect our coastlines? ... and what can be done to adapt to rising sea levels?'

This ELI involves a discussion of how climate change projections might affect sea level and what the impacts of sea level rise are likely to be, particularly for coastal cities, inhabited deltas and atoll communities. Possible adaptation methods are also considered.

Many activities related to climate change and how we might adapt can be found in our Climate change category

   

New ELI today -  'Mystery Isle; plan a geological survey of a fascinating island'.

Pupils are asked to use their first day on an island to “get their eyes in” and to plan for further investigations. When completed they can apply the main principles of geology to a new situation, interpret geological evidence from photographs and explain the problems of using initial information to form firm conclusions about the geology.

Many more activities related to mapwork can be found in our 'Investigating the Earth' category.

   

Today we continue with our ELI Early Years activities with 'Sensory treasure hunt; using senses to match objects with similar properties'.
