Here are some links we have found that we think you might
find useful. However, we have not checked every bit of these
websites and so you will have to decide for yourselves how
reliable
and
useful
you think they are. When you are browsing, think about: -
who
the website is from
what
are they trying to say and why
if you can rely on them
If you find a great climate change website for children that
is not here, let us know!

Climate Change for Kids
From the US Environmental Protection Agency
Easy to read and very interesting information about climate change and the greenhouse effect. This is probably one of the best places to start your research. Also has some fun games and quizzes!
Streetmap
Tap in your school or home postcode or town to find a useful streetmap of the area. Useful for working out your route to school.
Google Earth
Fantastic way to view your area from the air. The quality varies depending on where you live, but from a distance is fine anywhere and gives a good view of your locality.
Overview of Climate Change
Climate Ark
Good explanations of climate change and some useful charts and diagrams which make it a bit easier to understand, but you will still need your teacher to explain a lot of it! Have a look at a good chart explaining the green house effect, and the CO2 emissions map.
