Cops and robbers - What do I know about climate change? - worksheet

In an interactive classroom activity titled 'Cops and Robbers', pupils are encouraged to explore their understanding of climate change in a collaborative and engaging manner. The activity is designed for groups of four, where each pupil initially has two minutes to jot down everything they can recall about climate change on the left side of a table. This quick-fire exercise is aimed at stimulating individual memory and setting the stage for the next phase of the activity.

Following this, each pupil is given 60 seconds to review the contributions of their peers, looking specifically for information they hadn't thought of themselves. This 'robbery' of knowledge allows pupils to enrich their own understanding with new insights from others. After this exchange, students add any newly discovered information to the 'stolen knowledge' section of their table. Points are awarded for each piece of information recorded, adding a competitive edge to the learning process. The entire activity is designed to last approximately 15 minutes, making it a concise yet effective tool for reinforcing the significance of climate change as a topic of global importance.
