The Sun is the ultimate source of the energy that powers weather systems on Earth. Geomagnetic storms are sun-powered storms in the upper atmosphere, arising from energized particles that are periodically ejected by the Sun. Among other...

This Kodak site is overflowing with science lesson plans submitted by teachers from every grade. Each activity involves using photography to enrich the subject matter.

Students will build models that explain how small changes in the Earth system's components and processes can produce measurable global effects.

The Gravestone Project, part of the global citizen science program called EarthTrek, seeks volunteers to visit cemeteries around the world and collect scientific data on how marble gravestones are weathering.

A media project where learners create a video that documents unrehearsed interviews with "people on the street" about a specific question or issue in climate science.

Information and activities looking at the impact of industrial and agricultural practices on global warming.

An impressive collection of lessons on climate science and climate change. The entire book can be downloaded. As well, each instructional activity has its own page with some combination of background information, PowerPoints, images,...

In this activity. learners synthesize ideas and critically evaluate the current social perspectives of climate science and social decision-making.

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 purpose of this activity is for students to learn how the Earth's systems interact on a global level. They will examine global environmental data and compare this to data on the polar regions. In the process, they will develop an...

Students are challenged to design a healthy city in this unit plan. The cross-curricular unit covers content standards for ninth grade in science, language arts, world geography, and math. Students explore air quality and the impact it...

This site gives many lesson plans for teaching middle and high school students about current and relevant science topics like autism, ADHD, Diabetes, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, birth defects, genetics, and more. The lessons are based on...

A collection of science activities that focus on natural forces that affect Lake Pontchartrain Basin. Students will understand how global climate change relates to storm events, subsidence, and erosion. Background information on...

This is an educational site offered by NASA that has information on global winds, including prevailing westerlies, with illustrations. Included is a short activity to illustrate the winds.

In this video profile produced for Teachers' Domain, meet teacher Dustin Madden, an Inupiaq who hopes to inspire students to take an active role in protecting the natural environment by giving them a foundation in math and science.

This set of activities introduces students to the basic properties and measurements of soil water, and how the global distribution of soil moisture is monitored.

In this introduction to Earth Systems Science, students use images depicting global environmental data to explore connections and patterns in the climate system.

Climate scientists around the world study greenhouse gases and the ways they affect global climate. By making a small greenhouse, recreate the greenhouse effect and measure its effect on temperature.

The goal of this activity is for students to learn how to tell a story in order to make a complex topic (such as global warming or ozone holes) easier for a reader to grasp. Students realize that the narrative impulse underlies even...

Sixteen essential questions lead student learning about Earth's atmosphere and global warming as they have to do with global climate change.

A detailed overview of the greenhouse effect, with explanations about Earth's atmosphere gases referred to as greenhouse gases, and the factors that influence the heat-trapping ability of a greenhouse. All information is reinforced...

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...

At this site from the Global Grocery List Project, students collect data on the prices of common grocery items and submit their findings. They can then compare the data they collected to data from students around the world. There are...
