Sea Change Part III: Interpreting the Results
"Overview: This video is the third in a three-part series by the Sea Change project, about scientists' search for Pleiocene beaches in Australia and elsewhere to establish sea level height during Earth's most recent prev...
Sea Change Part 2: In the Lab
"Overview: This video is the second of a three-video series in the Sea Change project, which follows the work of Dr. Maureen Raymo, paleogeologist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, who travels wi...
Scientists' Concerns Challenge Conservative Sea-Level Rise Projections
"Overview: This video considers the current estimates of sea level rise as possibly too conservative and discusses more recent data on ice melt rates coming from Antarctica and Greenland, showing rates of melt at up to 5...
Scientific Consensus: A Tsunami of Evidence
"Overview: This is the first lesson in a series of 6 lessons about climate change from the National Center for Science Education. The 'Tsunami of Evidence' module directly addresses common preconceptions and misconceptio...
SciJinks: What causes a thunderstorm?
"Overview: This short video demonstrates what causes a thunderstorm. Subject: Environmental Studies, Physical Science, Atmospheric Science, Hydrology, Oceanography Level: Upper Primary Material Type: Diagram/Illustratio...
CLEAN: Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network
"Overview: A computer simulator that allows students to adjust the air temperature and dew point to see what type of precipitation would fall to the ground. Subject: Environmental Studies, Physical Science, Hydrology Le...
Scales and Processes of the Global Carbon Cycle
"Overview: This static visualization shows that the global carbon cycle is determined by the interactions of climate, the environment, and Earth's living systems at many levels, from molecular to global. Subject: Histor...
Saved by the Sun
"Overview: This activity features video segments from a 2007 PBS program on solar energy. Students follow a seven-step invention process to design, build, and test a solar cooker that will pasteurize water. In addition,...
Samoa Under Threat
"Overview: This video adapted from Bullfrog Films examines the effects of global warming on the Pacific island of Samoa with testimonials from an expert in both western science knowledge and traditional ecological knowle...
Salt Water and Freshwater Distribution on Earth
"Overview: These two visuals illustrate quantities of freshwater vs saltwater availability worldwide through graphs and charts. There are resources included that support conversations around the graphics. These graphics...
Salmon Move into Deeper Waters
"Overview: This video segment features subsistence fishing and harvesting in the Northwestern US. The segment was adapted from a student video produced at Northwest Indian College in Bellingham, Washington. Subject: Env...
Rooftop Gardens
"Overview: In this hands-on activity, students explore whether rooftop gardens are a viable option for combating the urban heat island effect. The guiding question is: Can rooftop gardens reduce the temperature inside an...
The Role of Ocean Currents in Climate
"Overview: This video segment uses data-based visual NOAA representations to trace the path of surface ocean currents around the globe and explore their role in creating climate zones. Ocean surface currents have a major...
Role Play: Six Americas, Six Views on Global Warming
"Overview: This role-playing activity allows students to learn more about the six general ways Americans respond to climate change and engage in conversations while embodying these groups. Students will be able to descri...
Rocky Mountain Bio Lab: Wildflowers
"Overview: This video explores the work of environmentalist John Hart, a Professor of Environmental Science at U.C. Berkley. In the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Dr. Hart has established an experimental laboratory in whic...
River Runner Visualization
"Overview: In this visualization, users click to drop a raindrop anywhere in the contiguous United States and watch where it ends up. The visualization teaches users about the relationship between precipitation and fresh...
Rising Tides: Protect Your Home from the Waves
"Overview: Warming oceans and melting landlocked ice caused by global climate change may result in rising sea levels. This rise in sea level combined with increased intensity and frequency of storms will produce storm su...
A Rising Tide - Linking Ocean and Ice
"Overview: This audio slideshow/video describes the Greenland ice sheet and the difficulties in getting scientific measurements at the interface between the ice and the ocean. It features the work of a researcher from Wo...
The Right Mix of Trees
"Overview: This video describes the work of scientists who are studying the precise combination of trees that would be most effective in reducing the level of greenhouse gases in the air around Syracuse, NY. This is a pi...
Resurveying California's Wildlife
"Overview: In this video, students learn how scientific surveys of wildlife are performed at a site in Yosemite, California. These surveys, in conjunction with studies from the early 1900s, provide evidence that animal p...
