Key stage two students learn about the amazing seabed hero species helping to tackle climate change.

In November, we joined 7-11 year olds from two schools in Enfield, London, for a fun day of climate learning.

The students heard from real-life Convex Seascape Survey scientist Dr Zoe Roseby, who taught them about the role of the ocean in the carbon cycle and how the creatures living in it can help tackle climate change.

We learnt about four seabed hero species which bury carbon in the sediment; brittle stars, sea potatoes, catworms, and cockles. The children  made detailed models of these benthic invertebrates using plasticine – you can see the amazing photos below!

Our educational programme, developed with Encounter Edu, has now reached almost 500,000 students around the globe. We develop curriculum resources for educators, host regular online live lessons on climate topics, and deliver some in-person student workshops.
