Energy is neither created nor destroyed - and yet the global demand for it continues to increase. But where does energy come from, and where does it go? This video examines the many ways in which energy cycles through our planet, from...

Try and meet global energy demands by using alternative energy sources while keeping the carbon levels in the atmosphere down to acceptable levels. Simulator includes a data table available for download for student records.

Use this site to explore real scientific data relating to the atmosphere. With this information you can gather evidence, test theories, and come to conclusions. Click on the data examples to view a full scale version.

Prairie Public Education Services award winning documentaries on Germans from Russia focus on the rich history of Germans from Russia and their migration to America. Indian Pride, the 13-part cultural magazine, showcases the unique...

College-level online course highlighting the fundamentals of ecology. Course topics include coevolution of the biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere; photosynthesis and respiration; and the carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles....

A suite of lessons focusing on the basic elements of climate and weather. Inquiry-based exploration of extreme weather events and the factors of weather including clouds, wind, air pressure, temperature, and the water cycle.

What do you know about the energy that comes to our planet? It is the energy from the sun but how does it work? What interaction produces with the atmosphere and hydrosphere? What effects produce in the geosphere? It contains 17...

With this resource, students learn how much fossil fuel emissions have increased since 1600 by exploring a graph showing carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Then answer questions and read facts about climate change over the centuries....

A great description of the global scale circulation and heat energy. Discusses a single-cell model, a three-cell model, jet streams and more.

Students will learn about refraction and the scattering of sunlight as it enters the atmosphere, which causes the colors in light to separate, giving us blue skies and colorful sunrises and sunsets.

Get to know our nearest star with this introduction to the sun. Listen to the information in an audio file. Vocabulary words are linked to a glossary of terms. Features include links to other interesting facts and a printable version of...

A three-step assignment for learners in introductory geoscience that asks them to calculate their carbon footprint during one specific week. The goal of the assignment is to increase student awareness of the various sources of energy...

This site details what radiation is, the physics of radiation, and radiative transfer as it occurs in nature. Content explores the electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves, properties of radiation, and solar radiation.

What do you know about external geological agents? What are they? How do they work? Where do they work? What effect do they have? You will find the answers to these questions in this unit which has 15 interactive activities.

In Spanish. Could you provide an answer to each of the question presented on this page? First, write or draw the explanation to the question then reads the response on this website and then compare your answer with the given answer.

Join the fun at the Climate Change Club where you can find out ways to take action at home, in school, and in your community. Keep up with the latest news in climate science, and link to fact sheets and other fun sites that care about...

From the Department of Atmospheric Physics at Oxford University, this page gives a scientific look at the techniques involved in the activity of rowing. Discusses the concepts of propulsion, resistance, kinetic energy, and much more...

Mars has such low atmospheric pressure that any water at the surface would boil away. In this activity, students see that they can get water to boil below its "typical" boiling temperature when they drop the pressure in a closed...
