Classroom Resources for New Zealand Teachers
These pages are the place to come for resources which support you to teach climate science in the classroom.
THIN ICE TEACHERS' GUIDE & SUBTITLES
The Teachers' Guide provides a context for teaching and learning about climate science and related issues in the New Zealand science curriculum.
The Synopsis is a 4 page easy-to-read guide that follows the chapter structure of the film, and applies to both the 56 and 73 minute versions of Thin Ice.
The English subtitles are useful for checking just what was said and when without having to run through the whole film.
