The material in the first unit has been trialled by pupils at Riddlesdown High School.

Comments from these pupils include:

'I think other pupils should be taught this. On the whole it is sort of essential.'

'I prefer these lessons because they get us more involved.'

'Before these lessons I didn't understand global warming or its effects. Now I know more I find it interesting and I'm thinking of what I can do to prevent it.'
