The Ocean and Climate Change Educator Guide
"Overview: In this lesson students test the ability of cold and warm water to take up carbon dioxide, and they learn about ocean acidification. They explore the role of the ocean in the climate system and one tool scient...
Ocean Virtual Laboratory
"Overview: This virtual ocean lab allows you to explore ocean currents, sea ice concentration, temperature, and other variables in the ocean and how they interact. The resource uses real-time data (back to 2010) that stu...
Ocean Tipping Point?
"Overview: This video highlights research conducted at Woods Hole on how heat absorbed by the ocean and changes of ocean chemistry from human activities could lead to a tipping point for marine life and ecosystems. Inclu...
Ocean Acidification in a Cup
"Overview: This model of ocean-atmosphere interaction shows how carbon dioxide gas diffuses into water, causing the water to become more acidic. The video demonstration and instruction provide an explanation of the chemi...
Ocean Acidification: The Other Carbon Dioxide Problem
"Overview: This NOAA video discusses how the ocean absorbs the increased amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, thereby changing the pH and buffering action of the ocean. These changes in pH are impacting...
Ocean Acid Test by Oceana
"Overview: A short video on the causes of ocean acidification and its effects on marine ecosystems. Subject: Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Biology, Physical Science Level: Middle School, High School, Com...
Nuclear Chemistry Card Sort
"Overview: Students describe the basic principles of nuclear chemistry, discern between diagrams and representations of nuclear equations and processes, and use context clues to correctly categorize nuclear events. Subj...
North Dakota Tribal Members Talk About Climate Change
"Overview: In this short video segment Native Americans talk about climate change and how it impacts their lives as they experience unexpected changes in environmental conditions. They describe observed changes in season...
Next Generation Climate Lesson 5 - In what ways can the repercussions of climate change be minimized?
"Overview: In this multi-part activity, students distinguish between adaptation and mitigation, in response to climate change, and research and discuss/debate strategies to minimize the effects of climate change. Subjec...
Next Generation Climate Lesson 2 - What factors have caused the rise in the global temperature over the last century?
"Overview: In this activity, students explore factors that have caused the rise in global temperature over the last century. Educators have the opportunity to assess how modeling activities (the game), analogies (the cak...
New Energy for Colorado
"Overview: This video describes how Colorado has planned for and uses clean energy resources to reduce its carbon footprint. Subject: Physical Science Level: Middle School, High School, Community College / Lower Divisio...
A New Angle on PV Efficiency
"Overview: In this hands-on activity, students examine how the orientation of a photovoltaic (PV) panel -- relative to the position of the sun -- affects the energy-efficiency of the panel. Subject: Environmental Studie...
Navajo Elders' Observations on Climate Change
"Overview: In this video segment, adapted from Navajo Technical College, two Navajo Elders speak about climate change and differences in the environment that they have observed. Subject: Environmental Science, Environme...
Nature Cities
"Overview: This lesson will give students a basic grasp of the value of preserving green spaces in urban areas to mitigate the effects of urban heat islands and climate change. In this lesson, students will research citi...
Nature Cat - Stream and Shout
"Overview: This cartoon shows where streams start and where they end up. Subject: Environmental Studies, Physical Science, Hydrology Level: Lower Primary, Upper Primary Material Type: Diagram/Illustration, Reading Autho...
Natural Gas: Abundant and clean...er
"Overview: This video is one of a series produced by the Switch Energy project. It reviews the pros and cons of natural gas as a source of energy. Subject: Physical Science, Geoscience Level: Middle School, High School,...
Natural Cycle
"Overview: In this short video from ClimateCentral, host Jessica Harrop explains what evidence scientists have for claiming that recent global warming is caused by humans and is not just part of a natural cycle. Subject...
Natural Climate Change
"Overview: This short video, adapted from NOVA, explains how Earth's position relative to the Sun might be responsible for the dramatic shift in the climate of what is now the Saharan nation of Djibouti. Subject: Enviro...
National Security and Climate Change
"Overview: In this set of activities, high school students model changes in climate and their effects on international relations, investigate local climate impacts and solutions and observe global climate patterns and ad...
National Integrated Drought Information System: Data, Maps and Tools
"Overview: This is a extensive collection of maps, data, and tools that students can use to research drought and its impacts on agriculture, wildfires, water supply, vegetation, soil moisture, temperature and precipitati...
