Through a simple online model, students learn about the relationship between average global temperature and carbon dioxide emissions while predicting temperature change over the 21st Century.
Resource Type: Activities
In this computer-based virtual lab, students will learn about the layers of Earth's atmosphere by launching virtual weather balloons to collect temperature and pressure data at various altitudes.
Resource Type: Activities
This is Part 3 of Lesson 2 of Project Resilience curriculum.
Students explore how hydrologic modification has upset the natural cycle of delta formation along the Louisiana coast.
In this activity, students will build a model to simulate parts of the water cycle. They will be able to recognize and explain the essential elements of the water cycle.
Resource Type: Activities
Students create and observe wavelengths at both high and low energy levels using safety glasses, rope, and a power drill.
Resource Type: Activities
Students explore the relationship between weather and climate by graphing weather temperature data and comparing with climate averages.
Resource Type: Activities
In this activity, students will compare stories about a weather event from different media sources and different perspectives.
Resource Type: Activities
Students consider how trees and forests are part of a solution to climate change by calculating the amount of carbon stored in a nearby tree and evaluating climate solutions that involve trees.
Resource Type: Activities
Students will use soda to explore how carbon dioxide is able to dissolve into liquid. They will learn about Henry's law, which describes how the solubility of gas into liquids is dependent on temperature, and develop hypotheses about how the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is affected by rising atmospheric and oceanic temperatures.
Resource Type: Activities
In this activity students get a sense of the many ways in which daily activities use natural resources and contribute to air pollution.
