Climate Change Education Across the Curriculum
A video that explains the impact of climate change on the habitat and population of a species (specifically, the American Pika) and explores whether this species could be used as an indicator of climate change.
A classroom/laboratory activity to explore the possible role of climate-related environmental factors in the timing of leaf-out in plants (specifically, red maple leaf-out in New England).
A classroom/laboratory activity to learn about the rate of sea-level rise and the response of shorelines to sea-level change.
An interactive visualization to observe and understand the possible effects of sea-level rise and different storm scenarios on the coast of California.
A classroom/laboratory activity to learn about glacial retreat and to predict the complete melting of a glacier (specifically, for an example in Glacier National Park).
An interactive visualization to explore the effects of melting ice sheets and the resulting sea level rise on coastal areas.
This calculator provides current and forecasted soil water deficit at a specific location. It uses historical climate data, forecasted rainfall and evapo-transpiration data, and location-specific data to for this prediction.
A video that presents a realistic and engaging visualization of the total carbon emissions and rate of carbon emissions in New York City.
A classroom/laboratory activity to examine and analyze squirrel species distribution and habitat data (from the USA) over time, and to interpret the possible relationship between climate change and changes in biodiversity.
A teaching module to learn about the impacts of climate change on human health, and to discuss climate adaptation and mitigation measures that would reduce these health-related risks.
A classroom/laboratory activity to establish the potential link between the geographic distribution of malaria and increasing temperature caused by climate change.
A set of resources to understand the link between periodic life-cycle events in plants and animals (such as flowering, leaf-out, and migration), and climate change.
This short audio podcast discusses shifts in bird migration patterns due to climate change. It discusses bird species native to Wisconsin and changes in their migratory patterns.
