In this activity, students will construct models of the arrangement of water molecules in the three physical states. Students will understand that matter can be found in three forms or phases (solid, liquid, and gas).
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
After reading about hurricanes and their impacts on the coast, students model conditions during a hurricane that produce storm surge and witness its impact on model coastlines.
Resource Type: Activities
Students learn how making changes to our environment can help keep people safe and reduce the impacts of weather hazards as they explore a human-built pond that is sometimes dry and sometimes filled with floodwater.
Resource Type: Activities
Students create a simple model to learn how a major volcanic eruption affects the atmosphere, and how the reduction in light to Earth’s surface contributes to climate change.
Resource Type: Activities
This is Part 2 of Lesson 3 of Project Resilience curriculum.
Students use data about Hurricane Michael and Hurricane Florence to investigate how hurricanes affect the Louisiana coast.
To understand how and why the climate has changed in the past scientists study evidence such as ice cores, coral reefs, and more. Learn about different types of paleoclimate proxies and how they tell the story of Earth's past climate.
Resource Type: Information
There are many different types of frozen water on Earth. Collectively, they are known as the cryosphere and are tied to the other parts of the Earth system.
Resource Type: Information
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.
