The purpose of this activity is for students to create a desktop soil profile based on the biome region of the United States where your school is located.

Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.

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

In this activity, you will use an inexpensive spectrophotometer* to test how light at different visible wavelengths (blue, green, red) is transmitted, or absorbed, through four different colored water samples.

This learning activity uses data acquired by the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter, a joint project of NASA and the French Space Agency, to investigate the relationship between the topography of a sea-floor feature and the topography of the overlying sea surface.

Students analyze surface air temperature anomalies to identify change with respect to different latitudes across the world.

Compare images from two volcanic eruptions in the Kuril Islands which occurred ten years apart and complete a graphic organizer for impacts on different Earth spheres. 

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.
