Students will design and conduct an experiment to test how long it takes for air to become saturated.

In this lesson, students learn about the carbon cycle and how carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere.

In this lesson, students investigate basic principles that relate to thermohaline circulation. Then they view a short video that connects these concepts to oceanic circulation and the potential for climate change.

In this activity, students explore insulation and heat transfer by designing and testing a soda insulator.

In this activity, students use data collected in previous lessons ("The Science of Snow" and "Lake Ice and Energy Transfer") to determine the thermal conductivity of snow and mean conductive heat flow.

In this activity, students use data collected in a previous lesson ("The Science of Snow") to determine snow temperature gradient.

Students learn the composition and layers of the atmosphere through discussion, creation of a scale model, and a written exercise.

In this activity, students will understand the persistence method of forecasting and make a weather prediction using the persistence method.

In this lesson, students reflect upon the ways they prepare for warm and cold weather in their area by drawing and describing the clothes they wear on warm and cold days.

In this activity, students use the scientific method to conduct a lab measuring snow density and calculating snow water equivalent.

Students explore satellites - what they are, how they work, how they are used, and how to interpret satellite images of sea ice using Google Earth.

In this activity, students learn how Earth's tilt and its relation to the sun affect the seasons.

In this activity, students learn about the similarities and differences in water in its solid and liquid forms.

In this lesson, students will listen to and discuss a short story. They will exhibit understanding of the story by completing worksheets. Then they will participate in writing a class story.
