Ice cores provide scientists with knowledge of historic melt layers, air temperatures, greenhouse gases, and climate stability. Scholars work in groups to build layers representing snow and ice over thousands of years. Then, groups...

Are the Arctic ice caps really melting out of existence? Junior climatologists examine the statistics of ice decline through four math-based lessons. Each activity incorporates data, climate information, and environmental impact into an...

Students identify the most common causes of global warming. In this earth science lesson, students use an interactive website to explore changes over time in sea ice, sea level, carbon emissions, and average global temperature. They take...

Learners consider the implications of global warming. In this current events lesson, students visit selected websites to discover information about temperature rises in the world and discuss how to solve some of the issues associated...

Students explore global warming. In this science lesson, students research global warming. Students work in small groups to create a presentation about global warming.

For this global warming worksheet, students complete multiple choice questions about global warming. Students complete 5 questions total.

Students access information at remote sites using telecommunications, identify impacts by reviewing past El Ni??o events, make and use scale drawings, maps, and maps symbols to find locations and describe relationships.

The carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and its effect on how heat is contained is summarized here. The flow of heat is explained with details about insulation and conduction. There are diagrams of heat circulation on a global level and...

Students gain a detailed comprehension of the layers of Earth's atmosphere. They represent their knowledge visually in a standing exhibit. Students compose a key to explain their visual display. They research the effect of global warming...

Learners read information about global warming and make their own greenhouse. In this global warming lesson, students read several pages of global warming and climate information. Learners then make their own greenhouse and answer...

Students discuss global warming, greenhouse effect, permafrost and other key words.  In this climate instructional activity students create a web that connects global warming, the Arctic and world climate then write a paragraph...

Students create a web connecting global warming, the Arctic, and wold climate. They write a paragraph explaining the role of the Arctic in world climate.

Students examine how human produced emissions of carbon dioxide contribute to global warming. Using the internet, they research the future effects of global warming on the Earth. In groups, they discover ways to reduce daily energy...

Using an interesting reading passage about global warming, learners answer true and false questions related to the topic. This 6 question activity could be used in upper elementary or as part of an ESL lesson.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students read a 1-page selection about global warming and then respond to 6 true or false questions regarding the selection.

In this ESL activity worksheet, students consider global warming as they read a paragraph and find its text in the word maze.

Middle schoolers examine global warming, and the greenhouse effect. They determine the changes that happen and the adaptations that need to be made because of these occurrences. They look at the occurrence and effect of these phenomena...

Young scholars present their research reports on global warming, along with any other associated products (models, diagrams, Web-pages, etc.) to the rest of the class and school.

Students examine the connections between global warming and the condition of the rainforests. In this geography lesson, students read an article about the 2 topics and then write summaries of the information they read.

High schoolers investigate the social, economic and environmental consequences that might result from Arctic climate change. Students identify and discuss at least three consequences.

Oceans absorb half of the carbon dioxide and 80 percent of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Scholars learn how and why the oceans store heat more effectively than land and how they help mitigate global warming. Pupils...

Middle schoolers compare current weather data to historic data to see if there is a temperature change.  In this weather lesson students complete a lab activity and determine average changes in temperature, precipitation and cloud...

Temperature rises and land disappears! Through a lab exploration, learners understand the effect of temperature increase on water similar to the effect of global warming on our oceans. As they heat the water in a flask, they measure the...

How do greenhouse gases affect the climate on Earth?  Pupils explore the concept by first building their own apparatuses to model the greenhouse effect. Then, they record data to measure temperature change and determine...
