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.

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.

Lab: Greenhouse Gas Inventory exercise
Neil Leary, Dickinson College
This is part of a full course developed by Neil Leary, Dickinson College.

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.

Lab Exercise: Surface Energy and Water Balance: The Atmosphere’s Moment of Zen
Patrick Callahan
The Earth's energy budget - how it's balanced - plays a critical role in determining surface conditions. Students learn about the four major components and how each varies in time and space through practice.

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: Impacts of Global Climate Change on Tribes in Washington (Part II)
Source: Evergreen College - Enduring Legacies Native Cases
This case study provides an in depth look at the Global Climate change in the Puget Sound region along with the effects it could have in the future. It also shows the effects and what could happen to Tribal people of the Northwest if steps are not taken.

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.

Activity: Learning to Play by Nature’s Rules - Eco Tipping Points
Deidre Duffy Source: The EcoTipping Points Project
This lesson teaches students how to recognize vicious and virtuous cycles, and then uses a news article about Hurricane Katrina to learn how to diagram the cyclical relationship between ecosystems and social systems. They will differentiate between approaches to water control taken in the United States and new policies developed in Holland called 'making room for water.'
