Explore climate change in your classroom with this range of teaching resources: University of Melbourne Climate Super Powers encourages students to assess their strengths, assets and ideas for actionable change to address climate issues, UNICEF provides curriculum aligned Stage 1 - 3 teaching resources Climate Change and the Importance of our Environment, NASA Climate Kids provides a simple online kids guide to climate change and NPWS Stage 3 teaching resource Cooling the Schools action learning program explores the 'urban heat island effect' and the effect of climate change on local environments and management of spaces.

Dive into NSW’s Climate Change Teacher Resources—a hub packed with clear, up‑to‑date information to help students make sense of our changing world. Explore how climate change affects everything from bushfires to water, agriculture, health, and the economy, and use interactive tools like NSW climate projections maps and regional climate snapshots to see what’s happening right where you live. These resources support Science, Geography, and even Business Studies, giving teachers everything they need to bring climate learning to life.

Whether you’re discovering the science behind global warming or investigating real NSW case studies, these materials empower young people to understand the challenges ahead and imagine climate‑resilient solutions. Learn, investigate, and take action for a stronger, sustainable future.

Monash University’s Climate Classrooms project offers free, curriculum‑linked lesson plans and hands‑on activities that bring climate and energy science to life for high school students. Co‑designed by teachers and climate experts, these resources ensure lessons are scientifically accurate, engaging, and easy to integrate across learning areas. The program also partners with the ARC Centre of Excellence for 21st Century Weather to support educators in teaching complex climate topics with confidence. Through collaborative initiatives like the Climate Action Living Lab, Climate Classrooms connects students, teachers, and scientists to co‑create meaningful learning experiences that build the knowledge and skills young people need to navigate and respond to climate challenges.

A dynamic and practical resource empowering the next generation to understand—and shape—their climate future.

ClimateFuture is an inspiring teaching and learning program that puts youth activism at the heart of education, helping students become confident, creative, and empowered citizens who take real climate action. With eight flexible modules—from understanding sustainability to taking community‑level action—students explore big ideas, tackle complex environmental challenges, and learn how to make their voices heard. The sequence blends science, media, ethics, and active citizenship, all aligned with the Australian Curriculum and designed to spark critical thinking and real‑world problem‑solving.

If you want to build your skills, speak up for the planet, and help shape a future worth living in, ClimateFuture gives you the tools to lead the charge. Your climate. Your voice. Your future.

Earthwatch Australia’s school programs turn students into real-world environmental leaders through hands‑on learning, peer‑to‑peer teaching, and action projects that make a difference.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s climate change page offers clear, accurate observations and explanations of how Australia’s climate is changing, helping students make sense of the science behind global warming and extreme weather. It explores long‑term shifts in climate patterns, the greenhouse effect, and the real impacts already being felt across Australia—from more frequent heatwaves to rising sea levels and longer fire seasons.

These high‑quality resources are suitable for students in Stages 3 to 6, supporting learning about how climate systems work and why our climate is changing. 

A powerful tool for young learners to understand our changing world and the science shaping their future.

The Australian Psychological Society’s Talking with Children About the Environment page supports parents and caregivers in navigating children’s feelings and questions about climate change. It offers practical guidance on helping young people build resilience, develop environmentally friendly values, and understand the challenges the planet faces. The page includes tools for starting meaningful conversations, strategies for supporting children’s coping skills, and tips for helping them feel empowered rather than overwhelmed by environmental issues.

A thoughtful resource for raising informed, confident, and climate‑aware young people.

International Women's Day is celebrated annually on 8 March and is an opportunity to explore issues of gender equality with students. Keep in mind gender equality and the other SDG's can be explored any time of the year.

Support your students to explore issues around gender equality with these Kreative Koala SDG education resources. Delve deeper into gender issues with the webinar, Repositioning gender and environment in education, hosted by the SEAE Research Centre.

Encourage your students to consider the impact of toys on the environment. Recycle your pre-loved toys through the Big W Toys for Joy program, an in-store recycling program for eligible pre-loved toys. To recycle toys with embedded batteries, NSW is currently trialing an embedded battery recycling program at 21 locations across NSW. Wingecarribee Resource Recovery Centre does accept toys with embedded batteries for recycling.
