Activity

This comprehensive student and teacher guide from the MIT Climate Portal includes an introductory 10 minute podcast about water and climate change impacts, a water cycle class game, independent understanding of local solutions to climate change threats, and a wrap-up discussion. The focus of the materials is on changes to precipitation patterns and the downstream effects, such as how diseases like Malaria are influenced by rainfall and temperature.

In this activity students use stacking cubes to graph precipitation data.

This resource is an activity book containing multiple activities for students to learn about climate resilience in engaging ways. Activities can be completed in sequence or activities can be pulled out and done independently.

This lesson explores concepts in climate emergencies and how civilians can use policy to advocate for change in their community. It also addresses eco-anxiety and connects students to climate activism in their community by creating a poster.

This resource explores the concept of black carbon and its contribution to climate change and human health through videos and discussion questions, and engages students in discussions about these impacts and possible solutions.

In this activity, students explore resilience toolkits to better understand their value. Students then draw upon these toolkits to design a resilience plan for their school campus as the culminating task of the larger Project Resilience.

Students use primary resources to investigate three case studies of environmental change, including how the combined effects of sea level rise and sinking land are projected to impact the Louisiana coast this century, how hurricanes affect the coast, and how fisheries are impacted due to environmental change.

This module introduces students to the basics of the hydrologic cycle in a way that engages them with both societal challenges related to water and methods for measuring the water system. In the final exercise, students are able to investigate water resources in a region of interest to them.

In this activity, students interpret geodetic data from Greenland to assess spatial patterns and magnitudes of ice mass change and consider mechanisms and timescales for ice mass loss. They also investigate the relationship between ice mass change and global and regional sea level with an emphasis on the ongoing and future implications of sea level change on civilization, including places in the Global South and the differing abilities of countries to tackle these changes.

This lesson is the fifth and final module in the climate change curricula from the National Center for Science Education. It aims to teach students about the economic, social, and scientific implications of climate change while highlighting the usefulness of citizen science participation.
