Level One (5-6 year olds)
Communicating
Climate Processes - Prime symbols:
Breath – our greatest teacher; celebrating
the human breath, especially the giving away (out) breath
Which inspires in us the combined senses of:
Change - everything is always changing
And
Stewardship - every act we perform affects
all other things
Which in turn opens us to the
potential of the following great symbols:
Thermodynamics - air transmits
and retains thermal energy (feeling heaters from a distance);
sunlight v shade (direct solar warming v wind warming ); warmed-up air
rises (joss sticks etc)
Trace – describing quantities on a
continuum from trace through tiny through moderate through large through
immense
Gases - gases exist
Air – mainly gases, which have mass and
move freely (celebrating wind)
Invisible –feeling, smelling, tasting,
hearing what we cannot see
Water - celebrating clouds and rain; three
common forms (ice, liquid, vapour)
Sun –
celebrating our main source of warmth and light
