This short introductory PowerPoint briefly explains what the climate stripes are and what they show. You can edit it to include your own version of the climate stripes to show your class.
As an extension, it also briefly covers what climate change is and how schools can help by creating a School Climate Action Plan.  

Explore some creative ways for students to be inspired by climate stripes to create their own versions or a vision of what their climate-friendly school could look like.  

Suggests ideas to develop students’ English skills using the stripes as inspiration, through persuasive letters or speeches, poetry, debating, reading and discussion. 

Explore and compare the temperature and climate stripes from different parts of the globe and consider how physical and human geography influences our temperature and climate. 

Investigate how your local area has changed during the period of the climate stripes (1850-2024) and consider how this might relate to our changing climate. 

Use figures from the Show your Stripes data set to work out the changing average temperature in Britain over the last decade and create a graph to explore the patterns.  

This multidisciplinary activity encourages students to consider how they would use the climate stripes to raise awareness of climate change in their schools or communities. It gives them the option to present their work in a variety of ways such as through art, drama, creative writing, design and technology, or using IT to create videos presentations or podcasts. 

We have created a guide for schools to physically recreate a simplified version of the stripes in human form by wearing the different colours of the stripes and arranging pupils in a formation.
