Students use iron filings to explore the magnetic field around a magnet and record their observations. Next, students apply their experience with the magnet to understand the magnetic field around Earth. Following their investigation, students summarize their findings.
Resource Type: Activities
Students match graphs showing aspects of observed climate change with statements that describe the observations.
Resource Type: Activities
Elementary students learn about the climate zones of the world by interpreting graphs and identifying climate zones described in postcards.
Resource Type: Activities
Use the Cloud Viewer to explore the clouds and sky outside. What type of clouds do you see? What color is the sky?
Resource Type: Activities
An experiment that demonstrates why there are clouds in the sky. Start with air, invisible water vapor, particles we call condensation nuclei, and air pressure...the cloud comes later!
Resource Type: Activities
Students analyze the energy consumption of a hypothetical household to determine the amount of carbon dioxide they are adding to the atmosphere each year.
Resource Type: Activities
Students demonstrate their knowledge of interconnections between natural systems such as weather and climate and the built environment in which they live.
Resource Type: Activities
Students analyze and interpret data on a map of floodplains to assess risk of flooding inform decision-making that will mitigate the effects of flooding.
Resource Type: Activities
In this hands-on activity, students experiment to discover how moisture, pressure, temperature, and condensation nuclei play a role in cloud formation.
Resource Type: Activities
This is Part 5 of Lesson 7 of Project Resilience curriculum.
Students create a school resilience plan with their revised adaptation project plans.
