ZET: ZooLab Environmental Time Machine
KS 2, 3; Second Stage, Third Stage.
Ages 8 - 14
DURATION: 45 mins - 55 mins
OVERVIEW: Join ZET: ZooLab Environmental Time Machine - looking at climate data such as fossil fuels, concentration of carbon dioxide, sea ice, rainforests and extinctions.
Our climate education workshop compares data, which allows students to form a direct comparison between human interactions and climate change. What will 2100 look like if we make behaviour changes now?
Learning Outcomes
All children will understand that the climate crisis has been and is escalating.
All children will have an idea of actions to help the environment.
Most children will understand that there are links between the elements measured when looking at climate change.
Some children will be able to explain some of these links.
You'll get to meet some of these animals:
All workshops include:
Free pre-lesson resources and teaching packs!
"Easy and simple to book. Ben, who came in, was great. He was enthusiastic and gave lots of facts about the animals. He was great at answering questions and knew how to address the children in an age-appropriate way. The kids were engaged and knew so many facts. Fantastic day.”

Why learn about the climate?
Climate change is generally defined as a significant variation of average weather conditions, such as conditions becoming warmer, wetter, or drier over several decades or more. It’s these longer-term trends that differentiate climate change from natural weather variability.
This workshop provides a comprehensive look at the long-term changes in the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces, and cryosphere (frozen water systems).
Discover what caused these changes and what lessons we can learn from the past and apply to the future to help reverse the climate change process.
