These 5 units introduce students to introduce students to Antarctica, a place that only a few thousand people visit in any year. Students learn that some of the clues in sedimentary rocks are easy to read, while others […]

Environmental Literacy with a Focus on Climate Change (ELF) — Chapter 5: ATMOSPHERE

The goal of the activity is to create a model of the layers of the atmosphere based on their characteristics. The physics of air and water movement around our planet is demonstrated. Hot air/water rises; cold air/water sinks.
