Evolution occurs though change over time, but can it go any faster? Scholars speed up the process of evolution and observe a simulation of 20 blue organisms fighting for survival. A graph displays the changes in phenotype over time. By...

The color, density, and smell of urine all relate to kidney function. Pupils observe the kidney controlling the concentration of water through three different steps. It mentions how each function might change the appearance and scent of...

Horses come in all shapes and sizes, but all belong to the same species. Young scholars explore the different traits and connect the information to genetic modification. The interactive gives them the option to read about 18 different...

Go study the universe. Pupils learn seven aspects about astronomy and astronomers. They begin to learn about constellations; distance and motion between objects; gravity; the electromagnetic spectrum; dark matter and energy; and teams of...

Provides extensive evidence of the many ways scientists have observed and recorded climate change on a rapid, global scale. Lists different events observed, such as receding ice sheets and evidence in rocks, and presents graphs, images,...

Join teachers and students all over the country in observing the migratory patterns of birds and butterflies and the growth changes of plants as the climate changes. "Journey North" offers a wealth of resources to use as you investigate...

Learn what clouds are made of and how they form. Read reports from several different cloud observations and how the clouds effect climate.

IceWatch is a Canadian program that uses volunteers to observe changes in the ice in their environments, and submit their observations. The purpose of the initiative is to monitor climate change. Tips on how to ice-watch and how to...

"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."

PlantWatch is a Canadian program that uses volunteers to record data about a variety of plant species in each province and territory, and then submit their observations. Monitoring plants provides valuable information about the health of...

The purpose of NASA's Earth Observatory is to provide new satellite imagery and scientific information about our home planet to the public. The focus is on Earth's climate and environmental change.

In this feature, adapted from Interactive NOVA: Earth, students explore the relationship between oxygen concentration and the well-being of various organisms by simulating a change in oxygen levels and observing what happens.

Have you ever wondered how fun toys like Silly Putty, Gak, and Slime are made? These products are so much fun because of the properties of polymers, which make them delightfully bouncy, stretchy, sticky, moldable, breakable, hard, soft,...

Plants grow and change on a time scale that is too slow for us to observe in real time. Time-lapse photography is a simple technique that allows us to see the movements of plants and clearly demonstrates that plants are living and...

This article explains the effects El Nino has had on different climates and natural disasters throughout the world.
