Sample questions
A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.
What causes global warming?
- Greenhouse gases trap heat
- The ozone hole makes sunlight hotter
- The sun orbits closer to the Earth
Read the explanation
Greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels trap heat in the atmosphere.
What does global warming bring?
- Sea levels fall everywhere
- Ice melts and the weather becomes extreme
- Every place gets equally less rain
Read the explanation
The polar ice melts, the sea rises, and the weather turns erratic.
What does plastic waste in the sea do?
- It breaks down into food for coral
- It drifts together out at sea and then sinks away by itself
- Sea animals die and it enters the food chain
Read the explanation
Sea creatures eat it and die, and microplastics enter the food chain.
Before you play
Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Understand global environmental issues: causes and effects of global warming, the harm of ocean plastic, what clean energy and sustainable development mean, and what young people can actually do.
What's in the worksheet
6 multiple-choice questions, 3 options each - Global warming comes from greenhouse gases trapping heat (distractor: the ozone hole) - Effects: melting ice and erratic weather - Ocean plastic kills sea animals and enters the food chain - Sustainable development means not robbing future generations - Young people help by cutting plastic, sorting rubbish and bringing others along
How to use it in class
Use in the global environment unit; about 6 minutes. - After question 3, have the class count how many plastic bags or cups each used today - Turn question 6 into a class mission, e.g. sorting the classroom's rubbish for a week - Play solo and watch question 1; if many chose the ozone hole, untangle the two issues before the lesson ends - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Question 1: 'the ozone hole makes sunlight hotter' is a common misconception, even among adults; explain ozone blocks UV, while warming comes from heat-trapping gases - Question 2: 'sea levels fall worldwide' is the reverse of the truth and catches children who only remember that sea level changes - Question 6: 'burning rubbish at home' sounds like reducing waste and happens in many communities; point out it makes toxic smoke - Question 5: 'develop as fast as possible before resources run out' may attract children unclear on the word sustainable
