This is Part 1 of Lesson 6 of Project Resilience curriculum.
Students will be able to identify CPRA projects along the coast and understand the impacts of these projects on the flood risk of coastal communities.
Students create graphic organizers describing the four major air pollutants reported in the Air Quality Index (ground-level ozone, particle pollution, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide) and then identify the pollutants with a guessing game.
Resource Type: Activities
Students play a dice game to explore the differences between direct and indirect evidence to gain an understanding of how indirect evidence of climate change can be interpreted. The activity concludes with a discussion about the various records made by humans and indirect evidence found in nature that can be studied to understand how climate has varied through time.
Resource Type: Activities
Students play the role of nitrogen atoms traveling through the nitrogen cycle to gain understanding of the varied pathways through the cycle and the relevance of nitrogen to living things.
Resource Type: Activities
Students learn how to crush a can with only air pressure.
Resource Type: Activities
In this graphing activity, students investigate Oxygen-18 data from ice cores used to investigate past climate.
Resource Type: Activities
In this activity, students observe how rubber bands deteriorate, developing cracks or pits, in locations with different ozone levels.
Resource Type: Activities
Students will experiment to understand variations in the amount of ground-level ozone between different places in their neighborhood, town, or city.
Resource Type: Activities
Students examine "pollen" in simulated lake bottom sediment core samples to infer past climate in the vicinity of the lake.
