Daisyworld: Stella Mac or PC
Students investigate Daisyworld, a very simple planet that has only two species of life on its surface - white and black daisies, and bare ground. They construct a Stella model of Daisyworld and perform guided experiments to explore the...
Curated OER
A Coastal Arctic Food Web
Learners create a food web of the arctic ecosystem. In this biology lesson, students explain how global warming affects this ecosystem. They explain how losing a species affects the entire community.
Curated OER
World Wide Winds
Pupils recognize that global winds move in specific directions in specific latitudes and describe that in a written form. They relate the motion of the wind belts to historical navigation.
Curated OER
Write Picture Captions
Students notice and investigate a large range of devices for presenting texts-captions. Students write original captions for several audiences. Students write a fictional news story based around a certain caption.
Curated OER
Climate & Atmosphere: A Global & Local Perspective
Young scholars complete a series of activities in which they study atoms, molecules, and the presence of atmosphere. They study the water cycle and the Greenhouse Effect by investigating and completing handouts.
Curated OER
Connecting to the Poles through TEA E-Mail
Students explore the integral role of the remote polar regions within the global system. They answer the question: How will change in the ice sheets impact global sea level and climate? Students comprehend that the poles offer unique...
