From flowers to mosquitoes to coral reefs, climate change is having an impact on living things worldwide. In this web seminar we will explore how climate change affects species and ecosystems. With case studies about plants, coral reefs, and human health, we will take a look at some examples of how climate change is affecting life of Earth.

In this web seminar we will take a tour of our planet with the purpose of illustrating how climate change and increasing greenhouse gases is affecting the Earth system. We will explore classroom resources that explore carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth system, including a classroom-ready activity, images, and interactives.

Learn the basic science about Earth’s climate. We will examine techniques to help students understand the difference between weather and climate, and provide an overview of the factors that impact climate. Then, we will explore a classroom activity about the delicate balance of the climate system.
