Students use real satellite data to determine the changes in near-surface air temperature at different times of the year over the Caribbean Sea. They discover how Earth's tilt causes seasonal differences in incoming solar energy. They...

Experiment with mass and density as scholars figure out what makes things float or sink. First, they watch a podcast introducing these concepts. Be sure to use the comprehension question to test their understanding. Young scientists...

What factors make up climate? How does longitude and latitude affect climate? What is causing Earth's climate to change? These questions are the topic of a presentation that explains characteristics of climate and climate change.

At the end of a general physics course focused on light and electricity, you can administer this exam. Concepts covered include electromagnetism, circuits, induction, light rays, lenses and mirrors, characteristics of light, electron...

You matter, unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light ... then you energy. Presentation covers the behavior of light as both a wave and a particle, light versus sound, space travel, why objects have colors, depth perception,...

Students investigate climate changes by graphing and analyzing ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica. They create, explain and report the pattern of data on a graph of ice core data. In addition they find relationships between the...

This Oklahoma Climatological Survey explores how air masses form, as well as the weather formations, which tend to appear on the edges of these masses in what is known as a front.

A very detailed description of air masses, how they move and interact, and what weather takes place when this happens.

This article explains the geography of the circumpolar north, which includes northern Eurasia. Read about the different climates and ecozones in this area. Includes student assignments.

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