The Climate Inquiry Unit is an exciting new teaching resource for Year 7-8.
Curious Climate Schools has been awarded a grant by the Tasmanian Government to offer this introductory unit to Year 7 & 8 students right across the state. The unit is an introduction to climate change, based on research with Tasmanian students, and developed by climate science and education experts. It includes student-led activities, an interactive game, and expert visits.
We’re offering a limited number of Science and HASS teachers in public schools across Tasmania the chance to bring Unit to their classes in 2025, for free!
