CLEAN: Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network
"Overview: The students get to be climate detectives as they make a model of sediment cores using different kinds of glass beads and sand. They learn how to examine the types, numbers, and conditions of diatom skeletons in the model sediment cores and tell som...

International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration: What is happening at Thwaites Glacier?
"Overview: This resource is an informational video about the impact of climate change on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica. Subject: Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Physical Science, Oceanography Level: H...
Interactive Geologic Timeline Activity
"Overview: In this learning activity, students use a web-based geologic timeline to examine temperature, CO2 concentration, and ice cover data to investigate how climate has changed during the last 715 million years. Su...
Inland Fish and Warming Waters
"Overview: This activity relates water temperature to fishery health within inland freshwater watersheds as a way to explore how environmental factors of an ecosystem affect the organisms that use those ecosystems as imp...
Green Careers for a Changing Climate
"Overview: This video showcases eight green STEM careers by interviewing people working in different sectors helping to solve climate change issues. Subject: Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Physical Scienc...
The Incredible Carbon Journey
"Overview: In this activity, students explore the way that human activities have changed the way that carbon is distributed in Earth's atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. Subject: Environmental Science,...
Increased Emissions: Climate Change, Lines of Evidence
"Overview: This video is one of a seven, Climate Change: Lines of Evidence series, produced by the the National Research Council. It outlines and explains what evidence currently exists in support of humans playing a rol...
Impacts of Topography on Sea Level Change
"Overview: This lesson is comprised of three activities (three class periods). Students use web-based animations to explore the impacts of ice melt and changes to sea level. Students are introduced to topographic maps by...
Impact of sea level rise in Bangladesh
"Overview: A simple three-part diagram from UNEP GRID Vital Water Graphics showing how global warming could impact coastlines and populated areas of Bangladesh with a 1 and 1.5 meter sea level rise relative to the curren...
Great Energy Debate
"Overview: This is a debate-style learning activity in which student teams learn about energy sources and are then assigned to represent the different energy sources. Working cooperatively, students develop arguments on...
Images of Change
"Overview: This collection of photos from the NASA Climate website features images of global change, such as floods, wildfires, and retreating glaciers. Not all images show change caused directly by climate change and en...
Images of CO2 emissions and transport from the Vulcan project
"Overview: In this visualization, students can explore North American fossil fuel CO2 emissions at very fine resolutions of both space and time. The data is provided by the Vulcan emissions data project, a NASA/DOE funde...
If the Sea Ice Disappears... How will climate change affect the fertile Bering Sea?
"Overview: This audio slideshow examines the changes in the ecosystem that will occur to the Arctic due to increasing temperatures and disappearing sea ice. Subject: Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Ecology...
If the Sea Ice Disappears... How will climate change affect the fertile Bering Sea?
"Overview: This audio slideshow examines the changes in the ecosystem that will occur to the Arctic due to increasing temperatures and disappearing sea ice. Subject: Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Ecology...
If I just explain the facts, they'll get it, right?
"Overview: This video from Texas Tech Climate Science Center describes best practices for engaging in a discussion about climate change with a person who disagrees about the scale of the problem, or outright denies clima...
Graphing the Extent of Sea Ice in the Arctic and Antarctic
"Overview: In this activity, students learn about sea ice extent in both polar regions (Arctic and Antarctic). They start out by forming a hypothesis on the variability of sea ice, testing the hypothesis by graphing real...
If All the Ice Melted
"Overview: This visualization is a collection of maps, by continent, that project the impact on coastlines of a 216-foot rise in sea level, which is assumed to be the result of melting all the land ice on Earth. Subject...
Ice is Water, Water is Ice
"Overview: This lesson invites young students to inquire about phase changes, about what happens as water changes into ice and as ice changes into water, observing ice melting and freezing under a variety of conditions....
Iceberg Diagram: A Systems Thinking Tool
"Overview: This diagram uses the metaphor of an iceberg to demonstrate the idea of visible vs hidden as it relates to Earth science phenomena. This teaching strategy helps students to see beyond the obvious and to develo...
Ice Mass and Sea Level Changes
"Overview: In this activity, students interpret geodetic data from Greenland to assess spatial patterns and magnitudes of ice mass change and consider mechanisms and timescales for ice mass loss. They also investigate th...
Graphing Sea-Level Trends
"Overview: Students use long term sea-level rise data set to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data. Subject: Environme...
