Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time.

In spite of its importance and need for solutions mounting, findings from the Department for Education’s 2024 Climate Literacy Survey reveal an alarming gap in students’ understanding of the topic.

To prepare children and young people for the environmental challenges of the present and the future, it could be suggested that there should be a prioritisation of climate literacy in schools to equip students with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions that have impacts on both themselves and the environment.

Read on to find out about how you can use Skolon’s AI tool that has been built for learners by educators – Skolup.

What is Skolup?

Skolup is Skolon’s AI-powered platform designed to enhance teaching and learning by offering tools for image creation, interpretation, and seamless classroom integration.

Customising lessons with Skolup AI

Skolup AI makes it easier than ever for teachers to deliver engaging and age-appropriate lessons on climate change. By tailoring content to specific age groups and levels of understanding, Skolup AI gives teachers the power to easily create interactive, personalised resources that capture students’ attention and spark curiosity. Whether it’s adapting lessons for younger students or deep-diving into complex topics like carbon cycles and renewable energy for older pupils, Skolup AI helps ensure no student is left behind – regardless of age or ability.

Accessing powerful educational apps

Via the Skolon platform, educators can access a wide range of apps dedicated to sustainability, geography, and environmental science. These include tools for interactive climate simulations, video-based lessons, and quizzes designed to help enhance understanding. For example, teachers can use interactive apps to create games and quizzes to demonstrate the impact of rising temperatures on ecosystems in alternate ways or deploy engaging videos to illustrate the science behind renewable energy sources.

Streamlining teaching resources

Skolon simplifies access to all the digital tools needed to teach climate literacy effectively. With everything available in one place, educators can seamlessly integrate climate-focused lessons into their curriculum without the hassle of switching between platforms or struggling with technical issues. The time-saving nature of Skolon’s platform allows teachers to dedicate more energy to delivering impactful lessons that resonate with students.

Looking at the bigger picture

Empowering students with information about climate change does much more than just prepare them to pass exams; it gives them the knowledge to lead sustainable lives and make meaningful contributions to a greener future. By fostering a deeper understanding of environmental challenges and solutions, schools can inspire the next generation to become environmentally conscious.
