Remember the four groups:
- What is Climate Change?
- What are the causes?
- What are the effects?
- What can we do about it?
Here's some websites to help us revise what we learned two weeks ago...
- From the USA comes NASA's info on climate change, presented for kids your age
- eschooltoday has lots of well-presented pages
- the bbc also has some good pages, but they're for older kids so just look for the most important bits (ignore most of the detail!)
- And this is a lovely-looking site featuring Tiki the Penguin
Most importantly, don't forget your great great notes in your Notes Copy from our afternoons learning all about Climate Change.

Peter O'Donnell from Irish Weather Online warned that many areas will be unable to take more heavy rainfall. "January was 70pc above normal for rainfall and about half a month's worth is likely to fall this week," he warned.
"This relentless heavy rainfall will be overtaxing the ability of smaller streams and urban drainage systems to cop. Eventually there will probably be some persistent flooding problems. These can be even worse near backed up tidal estuaries of rivers near the coastlines," he said. Residents coping with flooding in Limerick heckled Government ministers as they visited the scene of the storm damage in the city.
