When working on the game for students, we first think that they need to get a little familiar with navigation and pages. Then the students can change and see what happens in relation to the climate footprint on the farm. As a final task, they can delve into one or more of the improvement measures.
Task 1:
To get familiar with the game, look through the five areas, tick off one measure in each area, and then go to "The farm as a whole" to see the impact of the measures you have chosen.
Task 2:
Enter the climate game, select: "My own numbers" and change the number of animals and the number of acres to a farm you know. Then select some measures that are relevant to it.
Task 3:
Choose a specific measure and find out more about it. Are the factors for the calculations correct? What do you need to consider and what is the cost of the measure?
There can be variations of these so that students can be given a certain number of measures to choose from and try to get the best possible result. Together you can compare the results and choose a winner in the class.
The teacher or students can select some measures that they can delve into and learn more about. It is a bit variable how much background information we have included under each measure. Here the student and teacher will probably also have to look for other sources. If you find good videos or presentations, please send them to us, and we can add them.

Remember that if they change any of the numbers, the program remembers this until they close the browser – but the next time they start up the changes are gone. They must print or make a note if they want to keep their numbers.
