Students use a simple stream table to create a model that shows how the Mississippi River delta forms. They design an experiment to test how changes to the natural system will effect delta formation.
Students use a card sort activity to explore different actions we can take to reduce the risks of climate change and learn to recognize different types of climate solutions: mitigations and adaptations.
Resource Type: Activities
Students make a model of glacier motion and then design an experiment to figure out what affects the speed of a glacier.
Resource Type: Activities
Students create and investigate a physical model to explore how the resolution of a mathematical model impacts model results.
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
In this hands-on activity, students explore how temperature affects the behavior of air molecules.
Resource Type: Activities
In this activity, students observe how temperature changes can create a weather front, in particular how the mixing of warm and cold air can produce thunderstorms. Water, which behaves very similarly to air, and a density tank are used in this demonstration.
Resource Type: Activities
In this activity, students will develop a model of a forest using plastic bottles and then observe and analyze changes in winds related to differences in forest density.

In this activity, students will develop a model of a forest using plastic bottles and then observe and analyze changes in winds related to differences in forest density.
Students test a glider's launch design, payload, and atmospheric wind conditions that could favorably or negatively impact the pilot's intention to provide rescue supplies to a mountain community in need.
