Animals, volcanoes, natural fires, and hydrothermal vents have always produced significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) - so why are we concerned about CO2 levels today? The Earth has experienced colder - and hotter - epochs in the past. Are increasing global temperatures not simply due to natural cycles? Help your students achieve a global understanding of climate change, as these questions and more are answered in our 360° dome show addressing the causes of the climate emergency. Group discussion is preceded by a stunning 360° film exploring the inner workings of the global climate, with rich visualisations based on satellite data and supercomputer simulations. We follow the path of energy from the Sun into the global systems that shape our climate: atmosphere, oceans and biosphere.
Y4 - Y13
Earth's climate is the result of the complex interactions between our planet's atmosphere, oceans and biosphere.
During the show we measure CO2 levels inside the dome, and compare them to what are considered to be normal levels today, as well as in the recent past.
Schools receive discounts across all bookings, making our digital dome experiences possible for the equivalent of £1.43 per student (with the 7m dome and 8 sessions), to £3.13 per student (with the 4m dome and 8 sessions). Schools in the WIDER BRISTOL AREA receive an additional 30% discount on their first booking!
