Find below several pupil-led environmental science experiments that you can do with your class to assess the causes and effects of climate change in your area.
Please get in touch with us (info@engagewithscience.org) if you need any help, if you have any suggestions or if you would like us to run our workshop in your school/educational centre.
These experiments were designed as part of our Connecting the Climate Challenge project (funded by the British Council).
Air Quality Analyses
These experiments are to assess air quality in your area: 1) using lichens as bio-indicators, 2) using data available from your country’s stations, 3) examining the number and size of particles in the air.
1. Air quality assessment using lichens as bio-indicators: Lichen bio-indicator survey and data record sheet
Based on the Opal Survey (Imperial College London) 
2. Air quality index: Experiment
3. Air quality assessment to examine particulate matter using microscopes: Experiment and data record sheet
Water Quality Analyses
These experiments are to assess water quality: 1) using temperature and pH and 2) studying water particles and microorganisms present in water bodies.
1. Water quality assessment to examine temperature and pH: Experiment and data record sheet
2. Water quality assessment to examine water particles and microorganisms: Experiment and data record sheet
Litter Analysis
This analysis is to assess the levels of litter in your area.
1. Assessment of litter levels: Assessment and data record sheet
Weather Analysis
The weather station and rain gauge are used to study temperature, pressure, humidity, CO2 and rain levels throughout the years, which will help you assess changes in whether patterns in your area.
1. Analysis of temperature, Pressure, humidity, CO2 and rain levels: Weather station and Rain Gauge experiment and data record sheet
Bio-diversity Analysis
This experiment is to assess environmental and bio-diversity changes in your area during the last few decades.
1. Analysis of biodiversity and data record sheet
Bird Houses
This workshop is to build bird houses re-using materials.
