This is a PowerPoint presentation on teaching climate change put together by the AAAS

The chief objective is to drill back in time to recover a history of paleoenvironmental changes that will guide our understanding of how fast, how large, and how frequent were glacial and interglacial changes in the Antarctica region. Future scenarios of global warming require guidance and constraint from past history that will reveal potential timing frequency and site of future changes.

Lesson plans for teaching about global and regional climate change with selections appropraite to all grade levels

This NOAA site aggregates climate related data. This might be useful in developing inquiry based lessons using real data to uncover patterns in climate change

Global Warming These sites describe global warming and its impacts on the planet Earth and humans. There are statistics, illustrations, movie clips, and animations. Myths and facts, debates, lesson plans, and experiments are included. There are links to eThemes resources on Greenhouse Effect, Ozone, and Solar System: Earth’s Atmosphere. Middle School

Science: Greenhouse Effect These sites describe the greenhouse effect and its impact on Earth and humans. There are statistics, illustrations, audio clips, and animations. Some sites include lesson plans, activities, and experiments. There are links to eThemes resources on Global Warming, Ozone, and Solar System: Earth’s Atmosphere.

The Exploring the Environment-Global Climate Change (ETE-GCC) project (ete.cet.edu/gcc) announces that five modules are ready for pilot testing: Global Temperatures, Ice Caps and Sea Levels, Human Health, Volcanoes, and Drought. We welcome the insights and recommendations from middle and high school teachers who agree to help us pilot test these problem-based learning activities. We hope pre-service teachers will also consider being part of this collaborative process as well. The new ETE

Climate change. Population growth. Poverty. Environmental degradation. Conflict. Global health crises. Intractable global problems? We don’t think so. At Facing the Future we believe in the transformative power of widespread, systemic education to improve lives and communities, both locally and globally. Our positive, solutions-based programming is designed by and for teachers, and brings critical thinking about global issues to students in every walk of life. We work within the education system

This is a NASA website devoted to global clime change. It is socked with valuable resources on causes and effects as well as animations and links to other great resources

Teaching About Global Climate Change provides free, online professional development modules for geography and social studies teachers at middle and high school levels. The modules provide information and materials for teachers who are preparing to teach about global climate change. The modules include: • Fast Facts Quiz: a quick check of your current knowledge about global climate change • Climate 101: a brief Earth system science overview • Addresses frequently asked questions about global c

Climate change is a problem that is affecting people and the environment. Greater energy efficiency and new technologies hold promise for reducing greenhouse gases and solving this global challenge. EPA's website provides information on climate change for communities, individuals, businesses, states, localities and governments.
