hey, I don't know if you're doing the same exam board (if it makes a difference) but the contexts for aqa gcse are climate change, playing games and securing and storing personal posessions as said above 🙂👍

does anyone have any idea of what any of these mean?
we have to research for homework but the results are so random, thanks x

Hi we had to research for homework as well!
Climate change could literally mean anything, but the general theme is trying to tackle rising temperatures in the atmosphere due to global warming. It could refer to trying to cut down on CO2 emissions in everyday life.
Playing games is the simple one imo- it's just about different types of games and entertainment, like monopoly or chess.
Securing/storing personal possessions refers to things like bags, safes, wallets etc.

Hope this helped!

Heyy for climate change i have an idea ig you could do like a bird house as climate change destroys habitats for birds so this provides them shelter and a "safe spot"
