Earth’s weather and climate are complex systems that scientists study using data from satellites and ground-based measurements. In this training, aimed for primary school teachers, we will investigate the differences between weather and climate and explore some of the most important indicators scientists use to study climate change from space. We will explore how these indicators  can be used to support your science lessons using a learning approach which focusses on real-world problems to promote the development of STEM competences and global citizenship skills.  We will provide examples of hands-on activities and projects that can be developed in the classroom, such as the Climate Detectives project.  Join this training and engage your students to become Climate Detectives!
