Age 11

Worksheets for Age 11

Older students are ready for deeper thinking: trade-offs, real-world constraints, and how individual choices interact with systems like transport, energy, and consumption.

Learning focus

  • Prioritisation: what matters most and why
  • Trade-offs: effectiveness vs affordability vs ease
  • Turning actions into structured plans
  • Communicating solutions clearly

Activity ideas

1) The Climate Budget Game
Students “spend” a limited budget on actions. Which combination gives the strongest total impact?

2) Score Critique & Redesign
Pick a card and discuss: are the scores surprising? What evidence would you want to confirm them?

3) Campaign Brief
Create a mini campaign for one action: audience, message, barriers, and how to overcome them.

Outcome

By the end, students should be able to explain not only what to do, but why it’s effective—and how to make it realistic.
