A Model/Simulation/model/game to build your own version of planet Earth and learn about the Earth’s climate system and the factors that influence it by configuring various parameters and observing their effect on climate.

Students will build their own Earth by customising various parameters such as the tilt of the Earth’s axis, the eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit, and the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration of the atmosphere. They will observe and discuss the effects of these parameters on climate-related factors such as temperature, precipitation, sea ice, albedo, and ocean currents.
