Explore how everyday choices add up to make your carbon footprint, and what the effect would be on the climate if everybody acted the same way as you in the future.
Resource Type: Simulations
This is Part 2 of Lesson 7 of Project Resilience curriculum.
Students will identify environmental problems affecting their school campus, which is the first step in creating a school resilience plan.
What steps can we take to address climate change? Check out our second-floor Climate Exhibit to find the answers to these questions and more!
How much carbon dioxide do you send into the atmosphere? Anytime you do something that requires fossil fuels - like riding in a car, flying in a plane, buying something, eating something, or even just watching TV - you emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Resource Type: Information
A collection of UCAR K-12 educational resources to support teachers with distance learning and families who are doing their own instruction about weather, climate, air quality, the Sun and space weather, and other Earth science topics.
Students use information from Project Drawdown to learn about the sectors where climate solutions are being implemented to help slow down climate warming. Students construct a plan for using specific solutions to reduce and remove the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and make a claim describing how their plan could work to keep global temperature change below 1.5 °C .

This is Part 2 of Lesson 4 of Project Resilience curriculum.
Students present their claims about which environmental problem is a priority to address and their ideas about solutions to the problem.
This is Lesson 1 of the Project Resilience curriculum.
Students are introduced to the anchoring phenomenon: that coastal Louisiana is changing, and people in the region are vulnerable for many reasons. Students use a cooperative learning strategy to discover how coastal change is affecting people in these communities, and create a driving question board to motivate further exploration of this topic through student-generated questions.
This is Part 1 of Lesson 3 of Project Resilience curriculum.
Students investigate how the combined effects of sea level rise and sinking land are projected to impact the Louisiana coast this century.
