Background information on ocean circulation.

Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected. 

This activity is one of a series in the collection, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change activities. 

Earth is a system of systems.

This hands-on activity is the construction of an extended coverage area of eclipse glasses to provide extra protection for safely viewing a solar eclipse. This makes it harder to look outside the lenses on the eclipse glasses.

In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.

In this activity students will examine NASA data to determine the differences between a solar and lunar eclipse.

What is sea-level rise and how does it affect us? This "Teachable Moment" looks at the science behind sea-level rise and offers lessons and tools for teaching students about this important climate topic.

The electromagnetic spectrum is comprised of all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that propagate energy and travel through space in the form of waves.
