Build the Change: Biodiversity and Climate Change

---

Beschrijving

In this resource you will find everything you need to run the Biodiversity and Climate Change Build the Change course from the LEGO Group and Earthwatch Europe. There are materials for five 45-minute Learning Through Play sessions plus a “Showcase Day” show-and-tell event to share the creations and ideas from your young learners.

In this course, your students will explore how climate change impacts our Earth’s biodiversity, through the lens of a range of animals from exotic (polar bears and tigers) to familiar (bees) and their habitats. 

The course is organized around the latest scientific understanding of climate change and threats to biodiversity and is informed by our expert content partner Earthwatch Europe.

Note that the course directly impacts several areas identified in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals—the framework being used by schools around the world.

Learning through play is at the heart of every session, with playful hands-on activities exploring the course’s topics. They are designed to work with any creative materials you have available. LEGO® bricks are not required but can be used if you have some lying around.
