A detailed overview of global climate change, with explanations of Earth's climate change, the carbon cycle, ecosystems, and greenhouse gases, and how the movements of matter and energy impact on climate. All information is reinforced...

The signs of global climate change are becoming more and more evident. The EPA provides an excellent guide for students that acquaints them with the basic causes, effects on people and the environment, and solutions that they can engage...

Students study past climate change, explore the effect of greenhouse gases on Earth's atmosphere today, and consider human impact on global warming.

NASA keeps its eyes on the Earth in this dynamic site that stays with news about climate change. Includes facts, articles, interactive features, visualizations such as the Climate Time Machine, videos, and lots more.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers global climate change.

This site thoroughly covers the controversy over whether climate change is mainly caused by humans. Provides extensive background and quick facts, a long list of detailed arguments both for and against the question, videos, and a...

A short series of lessons that explore the importance of engineering solutions to the management of climate change, by brainstorming ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in a form that does not promote global warming.

Students will gain an understanding of global climate change by exploring the role that energy plays in it. They will explore NetLogo models of climate and learn about cumulative effects.

We obviously don't want to feel responsible for the warming climate, but are we? In this lesson plan you will analyze CO2 data sets and study barriers involved in teaching about global climate change. PBS TeacherLine also provides a...

This viewer allows you to see ocean heat storage from space. These images indicate sea surface heights. Learn more about El Nino and La Nina and how they have profound effects on world climate.

In this activity, students learn how volcanic eruptions affect global climate.

This lesson will describe the effect that oceans have on the global climate.

Students conduct an investigation to determine CO2 levels in four different gas samples, examine evidence of global warming in our environment, and consider their own role in contributing to global warming.

Students learn how the greenhouse effect is related to global warming and how global warming impacts our planet, including global climate change. Extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and how we react to these changes are the main...

This tutorial looks at carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and how changes can impact wheat production in Kansas.

Check out this site for global climate animations. "Get a feel for why we have seasonal weather changes or why other regions have different weather than you do."

Students run the climate modeling software, Educational Global Climate Modeling Suite (EdGCM), to visualize how temperature and snow coverage might change over the next century.

Examine the effects climate has on the snow and ice covered cryosphere and see live data gathered from the North and South Poles.

Making Climate Change Relatable to Teens: The goal of my Earth and Environmental Science course is to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the...

Explore scientific data relating to the atmosphere, oceans, areas covered by ice, and living organisms in all these domains. Interpret past and present climate data to predict future climate change and its possible effects.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Recognize the harmful contributions of burning fossil fuels on the environment and understand the impact of the acidification of the earth's oceans.

This lesson plan integrates physics, biology, and geology to understand planetary processes that contribute to climate change through time. It includes an activity that demonstrates heat transfer and it uses figures and charts to...

In this lesson students use Microsoft Excel to manipulate and statistically analyze large climate databases of precipitation., temperature, stream discharge, tree ring data, ice core data, and ENSO to determine climate relationships and...

"This web site provides information on world weather and climate conditions as well as global climate change with respect to mean sea level and terrestrial ecosystems."
