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 explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

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 model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

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

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners are introduced to tree rings by examining a cross section of a tree, also known as a “tree cookie.” They discover how tree age can be determined by studying the rings and ho

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.

In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.
