Below you will find a range of websites linked to various Topics
Select a topic of interest and 1-2 websites.
Have a notepad (soft or hard version) to brainstorm ideas as you explore the resources.
If you were designing and Lesson or Sequence of Lessons:
What Learning Outcomes from across the strands could these resources support?
What potential learning activities could you create using a selected resource (select 1-2 activities)?
What Assessment/Action could you use to support your students' learning?
Take the time to share your ideas on the Padlet Wall under the 'Engaging Data' column - collectively we will generate a rich repository of ideas for our classrooms
We will have a teachmeet opportunity before lunch to enable you to share your findings and design ideas
Area of Focus - Irish Context
Our work revolves around three key areas:
Raising awareness and increasing understanding of climate change and climate adaptation;
Providing the information and data required for climate adaptation planning in Ireland;
Supporting the development of adaptation plans.
At national level, CSO official statistics inform decision making across a range of areas including construction, health, welfare, the environment and the economy. At European level they provide an accurate picture of Ireland’s economic and social performance and enable comparisons between Ireland and other countries. https://www.cso.ie/en/index.html

The Earth Observatory’s mission is to share with the public the images, stories, and discoveries about the environment, Earth systems, and climate that emerge from NASA research, including its satellite missions, in-the-field research, and models. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/
The Climate Action Tracker is an independent scientific analysis that tracks government climate action and measures it against the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C." https://climateactiontracker.org/
The Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP) provides global data on historical and future climate, vulnerabilities, and impacts. https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/
Area of Focus - Local and Global socio-economic maps
The World Poverty Clock provides real-time poverty estimates through 2030 for nearly every country in the world. Access immersive and interactive data maps via: https://worldpoverty.io/map
The data sources include satellites, mobile phone networks, social media, and other geospatial data. These “big” data sources are matched to the “traditional” survey data using geographic markers present in both datasets.
