CSEP provides formal and informal educators working with elementary through university age students with sustained professional development, collaborative tools, and support to build a climate-literate public that is actively engaged in climate stewardship. CSEP also provides support for educators to execute climate stewardship (mitigation or adaptation) projects with their audiences to increase understanding of climate science and practical actions to reduce the impact of climate change. The project is part of NOAA's portfolio of activities to strengthen ocean, climate, and atmospheric science education. 

Join Leo, the young pig who wonders if he is "the one", Chickity, the feathered family farm defender, and Moopheus, the trench-coat-clad cow with a passion for green pastures as they expose the problems with factory farming while making the world safe for sustainable family farms.

Chevron presents "Energyville", an interactive energy game developed by The Economist Group. The game challenges players to power a virtual city through 2030 and keep the economic, environmental and security impacts low in the choices they make. There is a lot of information to explore in the game. It's great for students, teachers or anyone who's interested in learning more about the complexities of energy management and how energy affects our cities and our lives. If anyone ever tries this..please post updates!

I use this site for both my Envirothon team and my APES class. In APES I will have students list all the products they can think of that come from a forest. Using this site, we will check their answers and discuss differences how and why the items made the list.

I use this site for APES, Chemistry and Physics. Great Science!! Video Clips, tables, etc. added periodically.
