frogonglobe.jpgLaunched in 2007 the online climate change project will be even bigger and better this year. The interactive website [available through the DET portal] provides DET teachers and students with resources to fully explore the Climate Change issue. The site provides students with a safe and secure forum for discussions with other DET students in Western Australia.
Forthcoming activities include opportunities to ‘Ask an Expert’ and engaging, interactive games for students.

If you haven’t already done so, please register for access to all areas of the site.

For further information visit the portal or email SOCSinfo@det.wa.edu.au

More resources for Climate Change can be found in CMIS themes.
