Climate Change: NASA’s Eye on the PlanetResource for Everyone
The changes we are witnessing in our climate affect every person on Earth. NASA satellites, air-borne sensors, balloons, rockets and other programs in the field are taking measurements so that scientists can study various ways the Earth is changing. Every world citizen should have an understanding about the human and natural factors that contribute to climate change and how climate change can affect our lives in the future.

Curriculum
Offers Free Grades 6-8 Climate Change Curriculum Unit. The “Climate Change: Connections and Solutions” two-week curriculum unit for Grades 6-8 encourages students to think critically about climate change and to collaborate in devising solutions. The free unit includes hands-on activities, student readings, homework assignments, reproducible handouts and assessments for gauging progress.
Climate Change, Wildlife and Wildlands: A Toolkit for Educators (Middle School +) Teacher Resource
This toolkit was developed by the United States Global Change Research Program, an interagency project, which coordinates and integrates federal research on changes in the global environment and their implications for society. The educator resource toolkit provides information for students and educators about the impact of climate change on wildlife and wildlands for 11 ecoregions across the United States. The toolkit includes case studies and a series of downloadable activities for each ecoregion.
Teach the Earth, Science Education Resource Center, Carleton College
Teach the Earth is a portal into the rich geoscience education content available through dozens of independent project websites. The Teach the Earth portal is a handful of web pages which can help guide you through this diverse array of sites. It includes a search interface spanning all the projects, and a set of site guides which highlight key resources within these project websites.
