<p>The draft key stage 4 science curriculum, currently being consulted on, and the
new science GCSE criteria, published in April 2014, include opportunities for students
to learn about climate change as part of what they are taught about atmospheric and
Earth science. This includes evidence for the composition and evolution of the Earth’s
atmosphere since its formation, along with the evidence, and uncertainties in evidence,
for additional anthropogenic causes of climate change. This builds on the key stage
3 science curriculum introduced into schools in September 2014 where pupils are taught
about the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere and the carbon cycle. This includes
the production of carbon dioxide by human activity and the impact on climate.</p><p>
</p><p>Pupils will also be taught about the change in the Earth’s climate from the
Ice Age to the present day as part of the new key stage 3 Geography curriculum that
was also introduced in September 2014.</p><p> </p>
