Earth's Energy Cycle: Albedo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.
Sea State: Forecast Conditions at Sea
Source Institutions
In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.
Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.
How can Clouds Help Keep the Air Warmer?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.
Hot Air
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.
The Carbon Cycle Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.
Carbon Cycle Poster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc
The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another
How Greenhouse Gases Absorb Heat
Source Institutions
Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.
Carbon Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.
Drawing Conclusions
Source Institutions
In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.
How Might Elevated CO2 Affect Plants
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.
