Excellent documentary on Cuba - an example of what happens when oil runs out. It's a really positive doco that almost makes you want to be cut off from the rest of the world! Not great quality. Can be found on YouTube too.

The film Thin Ice - The Inside Story of Climate Science provides a look at our planet's changing climate, with a range of Science Learning Hub resources designed to support its use in the classroom.

About Thin Ice

Geologist Simon Lamb, alarmed by increasing scepticism of climate scientists and their work, takes a close look at what's really happening with global warming. Dr Lamb and his team filmed scientists at work in the Arctic, the Antarctic and around the world. The work is used to provide information and explanations about climate change and its implications, including the science behind climate change, the role of CO ₂ and ways to reduce CO ₂ production.

Thin Ice has a strong New Zealand connection - Dr Lamb and other featured scientists are based at New Zealand universities.

Why use climate change and Thin Ice in your classroom?

Climate change is a rich and relevant context that will impact 21st century youth. It is a global issue with a range of views, providing opportunities for developing students' social inquiry and future-focused thinking skills.

It also offers opportunities for examining evidence and critical thinking - key aims of the New Zealand Curriculum's nature of science (NOS) strand.

Importantly, the film provides opportunities to generate hope and action competence rather than apathy or despair.

The challenge for New Zealand schools is not should we but how do we guide students to take action in tackling climate change.

Teacher's guide and Science Learning Hub resources

In association with the film, teachers from Wellington's Onslow College developed a teacher's guide. This resource provides several teaching units and explores the potential cross-curricular links between the science and the social sciences curricula. It is intended to stimulate student discussion and exploration and uses starter questions to assist teachers in developing their own authentic learning programmes. It also offers suggestions for NCEA assessment opportunities at a senior level.

The Science Learning Hub features a series of articles and activities developed to accompany the Thin Ice film, including some suggestions for using an inquiry approach to scaffold students' learning pathways. We also have a range of other resources related to climate change.

Climate change and the New Zealand Curriculum

The vision statement in the New Zealand Curriculum focuses on developing young people who are:

connected to the land and environment

members of communities and international citizens

actively involved participants in a range of life contexts

contributors to the [environmental] wellbeing of New Zealand

informed decision makers.

The New Zealand Curriculum's values statement encourages students to value:

ecological sustainability and care for the environment

community and participation for the common good

equity through fairness and social justice

innovation, inquiry and curiosity.

Jobs After Coal Report 2015

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Coal mining communities in New Zealand have recently faced major disruption, uncertainty and job losses as the industry suffers from falling prices, competition from renewable energy and mounting concern at the threat of climate change.

Globally and locally, we are on the brink of a transition from the old economy, based on fossil fuels, to a new future based on clean, renewable energy. Yet many hold on to the old for fear of job losses that will leave communities with a shattered economy and no options.

That's why, in May 2014, Coal Action Network Aotearoa launched our "Jobs After Coal" report - and why, in April 2015, we released an updated edition (pictured above). The report argues that:

the role of coal in New Zealand's economy is small

there are many options for jobs in the industries that will replace coal

skills of coal miners are transferable to other industries, and

communities can reinvent themselves to regain a new prosperity after coal.

But these positive outcomes depend on recognising the need for a proper and effective transition path and setting up a planned process within the community itself, including all stakeholders, with support from central and local government.
