The goal of "GLOBE Weather Pathways for Students with Disabilities" is to develop and test an approach to provide middle school educators with the experiences, tools and abilities to adapt geoscience curricular resources to meet the needs of students with disabilities and articulate career pathways and opportunities in STEM for them.
Earth is unique in being able to sustain life as we know it, and scientists are learning more about Earth as a system and the specific sets of factors involved in keeping our planet habitable.
Resource Type: Information
The hydrosphere contains all of the water on Earth's surface, including the ocean as well as freshwater.
Feedback loops play an important role in interactions among parts of the climate system. Positive feedback loops can sometimes result in irreversible change as climate conditions cross a tipping point.
Resource Type: Information
Scientists are concerned that the climate system has already crossed some tipping points, and could be on the brink of crossing others.
Resource Type: Information
Students learn about the sources and impacts of major types of air pollution.
Air pollution takes many forms - from particles of soot large enough to see, to individual molecules of ozone and nitrogen oxides. Air quality measurements let people know when the amounts of pollutants pose a health risk. This teaching box is filled with educational resources that help students explore the science of, and solutions to, air pollution.
