The Changing Geographic Distribution of Malaria with Global Climate Warming
"Overview: This activity engages students in the analysis of climate data to first find areas in the southern United States that are now close to having conditions in which the malaria parasite and its mosquito hosts thr...
Catch!...the World's Oceans
"Overview: Children get to know each other through an icebreaker activity that introduces the importance of water on Earth. Subject: Environmental Studies, Physical Science, Oceanography Level: Lower Primary, Upper Prim...
Catching a Heat Wave
"Overview: Students model the effect of greenhouse gases on Earth's atmosphere. They find that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are uniquely shaped to catch and pass on infrared radiation, and so the...
Catan: Global Warming
"Overview: This game is an expansion on the popular board game Catan, it adapts the regular Catan game to become a game about sustainability and climate change. It's a neat idea, but teachers must already own the game an...
Car of the Future
"Overview: In this activity, student teams research and develop a proposal to decrease the carbon footprint of their city's/town's public transportation system and then prepare a report that explains why their transporta...
Carbon on the Move!
"Overview: In this 3-part lab activity, students investigate how carbon moves through the global carbon cycle and study the effects of specific feedback loops on the carbon cycle. Subject: Environmental Studies, Biology...
Carbonated Communities
"Overview: This series of two lessons uses cutting-edge scientific research on the effects of climate change on communities in the intertidal. Through a combination of a dynamic presentation and several videos, students...
Carbon Travels - Then and Now
"Overview: Students play the role of carbon atoms to learn about the carbon cycle and how it is changing. Students create two carbon cycle diagramsâvisual models of the cycle before and after the Industrial Revolution. T...
Carbon Stabilization Wedges
"Overview: This interactive/applet allows the user to explore the potential increase in carbon emissions over the next 50 years, subject to modifications made by the user in various technologies that impact carbon output...
Carbon Sequestration in Campus Trees
"Overview: In this activity, students use a spreadsheet to calculate the net carbon sequestration in a set of trees; they will utilize an allometric approach based upon parameters measured on the individual trees. They d...
Carbon Footprint Calculator | Climate Change | US EPA
"Overview: This carbon footprint calculator is set up for easy-to-use inputs for three sectors: home energy use, local transportation, and home waste generation. Footprint calculator estimates carbon footprint for hou...
Carbon Dioxide and the Carbon Cycle
"Overview: Interactive visualization that provides a basic overview of the Earth's carbon reservoirs and amount of carbon stored in each, CO2 transport among atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere, and a graph...
Carbon Dioxide, Shell Building, and Ocean Acidification
"Overview: This interactive visualization explains the chemical relationship between carbon dioxide, shell building, and ocean acidification. Subject: Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Biology, Physical Scie...
Carbon Dioxide Removal
"Overview: In this experiment, students observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere. This process is a part of the carbon cycle and results in temperature suitable for life. Studen...
The Carbon Cycle interactive
"Overview: This is an interactive visualization of the Carbon Cycle, through short-term and long-term processes. Subject: Environmental Studies, Biology, Physical Science, Chemistry, Geology Level: Middle School, High S...
The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change
"Overview: In this activity, students use a physical model to learn the basics of photosynthesis and respiration within the carbon cycle. Subject: Environmental Studies, Biology, Physical Science, Chemistry, Geology Lev...
Carbon Cycle Role Play
"Overview: Carbon cycle activity to demonstrate how carbon moves throughout the atmosphere. The activity ends with a discussion of how humans impact the carbon cycle. This is an interactive and engaging way for studen...
The Carbon Cycle Game
"Overview: In this activity, students develop concept maps of the carbon cycle through a die-rolling game that simulates carbon reservoirs and fluxes. By the end of this activity, students should be able to describe and...
Carbon Cycle
"Overview: This interactive animation focuses on the carbon cycle and includes embedded videos and captioned images to provide greater clarification and detail of the cycle than would be available by a single static visu...
Carbon Cycle
"Overview: This activity from NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory introduces students to the scientific understanding of the greenhouse effect and the carbon cycle. The activity leads them through several interactive t...
