In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.

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

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea
