Curriculum Material and Activities of Climate Education: Education Link Website Union of Concerned Scientists develop the global warming: Early Warning Signs Map a science-based world map depicting the local and regional consequences of global climate change for 9-12 grade student including curriculum guide with learning activities such as Climate Change in My City, Climate Change and Disease and Climate Change and Ecosystems more detail at http://www.climatehotmap.org Discovery Education develop the lesson plan, curriculum center with hand-on activities, puzzles and project ideas of weather and climate for K-12 at http://school.discovery.com/ UCAR and the National Weather Service (NWS) established the Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education and Training (COMET )with Distance Education: interactive professional development materials; residence classes; outreach program providing financial support to universities for applied research projects. http://www.comet.ucar.edu/ The Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) provide collections of educational resources Earth data sets and imagery, Support services and Communication networks to facilitate interactions and collaborations across all dimensions of Earth system education http://www.dlese.org/about/index.html LEARN atmospheric science explorer: The Cycles of the Earth and Atmosphere online teacher module for middle school background information, general learning concepts, and seven sections such as Introduction to Climate, The "Greenhouse Effect",Global Climate Change, Introduction to Ozone Stratospheric and Troposphere Ozone.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) help students, teachers, librarians and the general public access to many educational activities, publications, and booklets and establish the climate program office as resources for scientist and educators. http://www.climate.noaa.gov/education/ http://www.climate.noaa.gov/index.jsp?pg=./education/hurricanes/resour ces.jsp http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/ UCAR: Learn what makes weather wet and wild, do cool activities, and become hot at forecasting the weather on Web Weather http://eo.ucar.edu/webweather/ The American Meteorological Society (AMS) promotes the development and dissemination of information and education on the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the advancement of their professional applications and the online weather studies. http://www.ametsoc.org/amsedu/online/info/ Educapoles provide the material explaining the climate in simple terms. Discovering climate and climate changes via practical experiments highlighting the problems of CO 2 and taking meteorological measurements http://www.educapoles.org/ Friend of the earth: UK provides resources for educator with lesson plan as mad about climate and shouts about climate change, and climate solution. http://www.foe.co.uk/learning/educators/resource/index.html Southeast regional climate center (SECC) provide the resources, games and activities to students and educator as weather trivia, how to make barometer and anemometer? http://www.sercc.com/index.html

The Exploratorium is animated website to explore of the earth and demonstrate how scientist know the climate change http://www.exploratorium.edu/educate/index.html Community Learning Network (CLN) provide curricular in weather and climate and general resource on climate/weather with the hurricane, air quality, blizzard and snow,tornado, global warming,lightening, ozone depletion and etc. http://www.cln.org/teach_index.html Florida State University develops The EXPLORES! Teacher's Resource Guide as using weather satellites in the K-12 classroom included Outreach Programs Basic kills, Background and Activities to enhance meteorological knowledge. The GLOBE Program is a nonpartisan effort of the U.S. Government to gather environmental data globally. Based in primary and secondary schools from 108 country, the student will collect the data such as air, water, soil temperature, moisture, cloud, aerosol and etc and send it to the visualize website as map and graph or using the data to do the research in their own country or input the data to Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) at www.globe.gov The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide climate change education resources database! includes a wealth of education resources for educators, students, and the general public with linking to lesson plans, videos, books, toolkits, and other fun materials http://yosemite.epa.gov/oar/resources.nsf/websearch?openform The Center for International Earth Science information Network (CIESIN ) has many online educational resources for K-12 teachers and students, college classrooms, and graduate-level education and research. The following is a quick guide to major resources. http://www.ciesin.org/edresources.html

Learning and Teaching Scotland provide game resource and lesson plan of a climate throughout the Scottish education system http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/climatechange/resources/lesson_plans.asp The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program of A.R.M. Education Center is involved in research and education with regard to understanding global climate change. This Education Center, intended for students and teachers, has a wealth of information, downloadable lessons plans, links and more. http://education.arm.gov Global Warming and the Greenhouse Effect activities for student grades 7 8 with hands-on activities and experiments investigate a crucial environmental issue and help students see environmental problems from different points of view. Students can play simulation games and hold a world conference on global warming and acid rain. http://www.lhs.berkeley.edu/gems/gemsguides.html Columbia University developed the climate change education model called Computer-driven global climate models (GCMs) which is one of the primary tools used today in climate research. Students can explore the subject of climate change in the same way that actual research scientists do. The goal of EdGCM is to improve the quality of teaching and learning of climate-change science in grades 9-12 by providing broader access to an actual GCM and to help teachers use a research-quality climate model effectively in the classroom. The utilization of EdGCM in undergraduate and graduate courses and by the atmospheric/earth systems science research communities is also anticipated. http://edgcm.columbia.edu/ The U.S. Geological Survey provides scientific information intended to help educate the public about natural resources, natural hazards, geospatial data, and issues that affect our quality of life. This website provides links to selected online resources to support education (K-12) and college inquiry and research in order to Develop learning activity of global change for student, teacher and explorer. http://interactive2.usgs.gov/learningweb/
