This is Part 1 of Lesson 8 of Project Resilience curriculum.
Students finalize their adaptation project(s) and select one to be implemented.
Students test the hypothesis that a 100-year flood happens once every hundred years, learning how the probability of a flood does not mean that floods happen at regular intervals.
Resource Type: Activities
Students review illustrations, maps, cross-sections, and graphs that tell a piece of the story about the effects of clouds on climate. They answer "True and False" questions about each visual and discuss what they take away from the information.
Resource Type: Activities
Students review graphs and charts of severe weather data then answer "True and False" questions about the content conveyed.
Resource Type: Activities
Students compare photographs of glaciers to observe how Alaskan glaciers have changed over the last century.
Resource Type: Activities
Graph the extent of sea ice, over months and years, in the Arctic and Antarctic. Learn about the seasons and long-term trends.
Resource Type: Activities
This Greenhouse Gas Game enables students to interact with each other as they learn about the heat-trapping properties of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. They learn that human actions are altering the levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Teams explore how long it takes to reach the top of the Temperature Tracker based on human activity, with the winner taking the longest to reach the top of the Temperature Tracker.
