Climate Program Office (CPO) Home Page - 0 views

  •  
    Not a curriculum, or a resource page in the same sense as other sites in the curriculum category; the NOAA Climate Program Office provides a document about climate literacy. It can be accessed here. This document, developed with Standards and Benchmarks in mind, will enable teachers to meet their curriculum needs while incorporating climate and polar studies in their teaching plans.

Manpollo Project - 0 views

  •  
    The author of this website (wondering mind42) has a youtube channel that includes the video "How it all ends" - from the site: "Furthermore, we wish to shift the question often asked in popular culture from "Are we certain we're responsible for global warming?" to "Given the risks and uncertainties of global warming, what is the best action to take?" "

EdGCM - 0 views

  •  
    Educational Global Climate Modeling. This was developed from an older 'real' modeling program, so the difference between this and current programs is the grainy-ness of the data. (It will run on today's laptops - yesterday's supercomputers - current programs need the power of modern supercomputers.) Good for high school student direct use, middle schoolers would probably be more comfortable with demos. Learning curve isn't too bad!

    The US Army's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory's site. Under the Educational Outreach menu item, you will find student opportunities (high school and above). The Kid's Corner is not directly polar related, but there are some good activities (especially under the Navigation Lessons) to tie in with a polar topic unit.
