Classroom/Laboratory Activity: Squirrel Species Distribution and Climate Change
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.
Teaching Module: Climate Change, the Environment, and Human Health
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.
Classroom/Laboratory Activity: Climate Change and Phenology in Plants (Flowering)
Classroom/Laboratory Activity: Malaria and Climate Change
A classroom/laboratory activity to establish the potential link between the geographic distribution of malaria and increasing temperature caused by climate change.
Classroom/Laboratory Activity: Ocean Chemistry, Ocean Acidification, and Oyster Growth
Teaching Module: Climate Change & Phenological Events in Plants and Animals
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.
Bird populations shift north as climate changes
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.
Classroom/Laboratory Activity: Survival Skills—Response of Organisms to Climate Change
A classroom/laboratory activity to analyze the distribution of beetle, mammal, and plant species (for datasets from North America) in the past (based on fossil records), determine whether the same species exist today, and compare the past and present geographic ranges and ecosystems of these species.
Laboratory Activity: Urban Heat Island
A laboratory activity to learn about the urban heat island effect and heat waves.
Classroom/Laboratory Activity: Using Introductory Calculus (Integration) to Analyze CO2 Emission Data
A classroom/laboratory activity to analyze CO2 emissions data by using Riemann sums for the calculation of area under the curve.
Visualization: The Effects of Sea-level Rise on the Coast of California
An interactive visualization to observe and understand the possible effects of sea-level rise and different storm scenarios on the coast of California.
Classroom/Laboratory Activity: Determining Coastal Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise
A classroom/laboratory activity to learn about the rate of sea-level rise and the response of shorelines to sea-level change.
CSF Water Deficit Calculator
This calculator provides current and forecasted soil water deficit at a specific location. It uses historical climate data, forecasted rainfall and evapotranspiration data, and location-specific data to for this prediction.
