What is a Model? part of CLEAN Collection
In this interactive activity students will create a very simple climate model. They use worksheets, chips/tokens, and follow rules for heat exchange. The activity only models temperature but there ...Subject: Environmental Science:Global Change and Climate:Climate Change:Global change modeling, Geoscience:Atmospheric Science:Climate Change, Meteorology:Atmospheric structure and composition, Environmental Science:Global Change and Climate, Geoscience:Atmospheric Science:Climate Change:Global change modeling, Geoscience:Atmospheric Science:Climatology , Climatology :Global energy balance

What's Causing Sea-Level Rise? Land Ice Vs. Sea Ice part of CLEAN Collection
This activity allows students to explore sea level rise. The experiment allows them to test whether land ice and/or sea ice contribute to sea level rise as they melt.Subject: Geoscience:Atmospheric Science:Climate Change, Environmental Science:Global Change and Climate:Sea Level Change, Geoscience:Atmospheric Science:Climate Change:Impacts of climate change, Environmental Science:Global Change and Climate:Climate Change:Impacts of climate change

Recipe for a Region part of CLEAN Collection
Students consider the ways their climate affects their region, by identifying a type of food unique to the region and selecting (and possibly cooking) a recipe that features that ingredient. Optional ...Subject: Geoscience:Atmospheric Science:Climatology , Climatology :Regional climates, Environmental Science:Global Change and Climate
