"The Cryospheric Connection to Understanding Climate Change will reveal how NASA data from space, suborbital, and ground platforms can be used to provide classroom instruction reflective of authentic NASA climate science research"

"Browse descriptions of NASA, NOAA, and NSF funded Climate Education Projects developed for the March 2010 Climate Change Education workshop organized and hosted by the National Council for Science and the Environment."

"The Climate Literacy Network (CLN) is an informal group of scientists, educators, policy makers, community leaders, students, and citizens engaged in fostering Climate Literacy in the US and abroad. It provides a forum for organizations, agencies, and individuals to collaborate for climate education. Members share ideas, coordinate efforts, promote policy reform, develop learning resources, and support integration of climate literacy into formal and informal education venues. Initiatives of CLN feature accurate scientific information, engaging learning experiences, and multiple pathways to reach broad and diverse audiences, in both formal and informal venues."

NOAA Paleoclimatology. The National Climatic Data Center's Paleoclimatology Branch -world's largest archive of climate & paleoclimate data. The Paleoclimatology Branch partners with national and international science initiatives around the world to expand the use of paleoclimatic data.

"a research tool to investigate the climate. This web site collects a lot of climate data and analysis tools" A site for those who choose to dive into analysis of climate data with their students.

Basic information with simple graphics about climate change.

"The Center makes it easy to find documented climate and impacts datasets, manipulate and combine them to create visualization results that can be used for reports, proposals, workshops etc." Sponsor: Conservation Biology Institute. Possible tool for students and teachers to use. Attempts to decrease learning curve for data management and use of GIS information.

Sections on Cryosphere, climate issues, coral reefs. Videos, Smithsonian picture galleries.

Deep personal website of Dr. James Wood. Lots of information and a link to lesson plans.

"Has Earth changed over deep time? How did Earth shape life and life shape Earth? What does Earth's climate in the distant past tell us about the future? "

"The National Research Council is pleased to present this booklet in 3 parts that (1) summarizes the current state of knowledge about climate change; (2) explains some impacts expected in this century and beyond; and (3) examines how science can help inform choices about managing and reducing the risks posed by climate change."

Information portal for earth orbiting satellites

The CERES experiment is one of the highest priority scientific satellite instruments developed for NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS). Has some unusual features such as Clouds and the Energy Cycle, Climate Change and Feedbacks, Long-Term Climate Variability

Extensive site. Key indicators and most recent numbers for key indicators. Evidence links as well as Effects, Uncertainties, Ineractives, Images, Video and Energy Innovations

Each week our State of Flux gallery features images of different locations on planet Earth, showing change over time periods ranging from centuries to days. Some of these effects are related to climate change, some are not. Similar to Earth Observatory.

"The Image Composite Explorer is designed to be an easy first step into the realm of Earth system science, image processing, data analysis, and satellite remote sensing via your Web browser."

Source of data used by many climate scientists

Grassroots, community action group that collects data about precipitation.

""Service-learning is an experiential teaching method that combines community service with academic instruction as it focuses on critical, reflective thinking and civic responsibility."
