Northwest Passage
Glenn Richard, SUNY at Stony Brook
An investigation of changes in polar regions using Google Earth.

How Much Energy is on my Plate?
Lane Seely, Karin Kirk
A teaching activity page from the CLEAN collection guiding students through calculating embodied energy in food production, comparing energy inputs across protein sources, and exploring food system sustainability via concept sketches, data analysis, and life cycle assessment, aligned with climate and energy education standards. auto-generated The author of this page didn't provide a brief description so this one sentence summary was created by an AI tool.

Lab Exercise: Vostok Ice Core: The Cold Hard Truth
Patrick Callahan
Examine Vostok ice core data from the Industrial Revolution to 160,000 years ago. Understand how climate indicators in the ice from our planet's past help scientists to envisage our climate future.

Lab Exercise: The Earth’s Radiation Budget: Balancing Your Heat Book
Patrick Callahan
Students enhance their understanding of the Earth's radiation budget and how it influences the Earth's climate through the application of NASA data. Additionally, there's a hands-on activity to test assess students' knowledge of the lab's concepts.

Simulation: Thunderstorm Simulation
Patrick Callahan
Air and water shift and change our climate. In this lab, students learn about the major movement of air and water movement that create weather. Through discussions and hands-on activities, students will walk away with a greater understanding of how and why the Earth's climate system operates.

Ocean Acidification - "The Other CO2 Problem"
This educational webpage from the CAMEL Climate Change Education project provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of ocean acidification as a consequence of increased atmospheric CO2, detailing its chemical mechanisms, impacts on marine organisms—particularly calcifying species like corals and pteropods—evidence from historical and paleo-data, metabolic effects, and future implications, while emphasizing the urgency of emissions reduction as the primary solution. auto-generated The author of this page didn't provide a brief description so this one sentence summary was created by an AI tool.

Case: Impacts of Climate Change on Tribes in Washington (Part 1)
Source: Evergreen College - Enduring Legacies Native Cases
This study talks about Global Climate Change, Global Warming, the Puget Sound region and its Tribal Lands, along with the tribes of the Puget Sound region.

Lab Exercise: Ocean Circulation Simulation: So Far, So Great
Patrick Callahan
How do oceans work? We see their ebb and flow, but what causes this enormous movement of water that influences the globe in many ways? Through a hands-on experiment, students learn the basic principles that cause ocean motion, that drive rising, sinking, and transport in the real ocean.

Case Study: Alberta’s Oil Sands and the Rights of First Nations Peoples to Environmental Health
Source: Evergreen College - Enduring Legacies Native Cases http://nativecases.evergreen.edu/index.html
The Problem Alberta sits over one of the largest recoverable oil patches in the world, second only to Saudi Arabia. It covers 149, 000 square kilometers, an area larger than Florida, and holds at least 175 billion barrels of recoverable crude bitumen... But oil sands are a fundamentally different kind of oil. They take a lot of energy and a lot of water and leave a very large environmental footprint compared to all other forms of oil extraction. Because of this, the massive changes to the boreal forest and the watershed have prompted the United Nations to list this region as a global hot spot for environmental change. (H2Oil)
