The following Climate Change Education resources are linked in this year's edition of our Web Guide, "Earth Day 2010 - 40 Years of Environmental Learning, 1970-2010," http://library.buffalo.edu/asl/exhibits/earthday.html Go to the site, scroll to these resources and click away: Education Resources for Climate Change Global climate change, including global warming, has been a major, and sometimes controversial and always complex lesson to teach. These resources may help teachers and educators. ?ARM - Education: Teachers' Lounge From the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Resources Monitoring Program. ?Climate change for kids ?Climate Classroom ?Global Warming Basics (Natural Resources Defense Council) What it is, how it's caused, and what needs to be done to stop it. ?Global Warming/Climate Change Theme ?Global Warming Education: School Lesson Plans, Climate Change ?Global Warming Materials for Educators (Union of Concerned Scientists) Below is a list of Global Warming materials for educators. All of these materials are based on published, peer-reviewed science, and have themselves been peer-reviewed by scientific experts in the relevant fields. ?Global Warming - Teacher's Guide Global Warming is an interactive online lesson that will educate students about this highly debated environmental issue. Students will be given the chance to research global warming with global warming web sites linked to our lesson. Then students can put their knowledge to the test with either a classroom debate on global warming, or a written essay about the effects. ?Global Warming: Understanding Greenhouse Gases for Education and Learning ?Lesson Plan - Global Warming (NOW/PBS) Use the NOW Classroom standards-linked lesson on global warming to help students research and form credible opinions. This lesson is designed for social studies, debate, language arts, government/citizenship, and current events classes, grades 9-12. Many of our efforts related to global environmental change find there origins in the first Earth Day held 40 years ago. It is from Earth Day that awareness about sustainable development, environmental stewardship and responsibility, and a tremendous increase in the data, information, literature, and knowledge provided. We hope this site helps you and those you teach through your dedicated research, decision making, policy setting, and education experiences. We return to those teaching moments in this year's revision and update: A special feature on education is added for the 40th Anniversary with expanded resources for kids, and teachers/educators in formal K-12 and non-formal (nature centers, museums, parks, camps, zoos, etc.) settings. The special subsection on climate change was added to reflect the growing importance of this topic in the formal K-12 education process. If you have any thing you want added, send it our way and we will look at it! Greenly, Frederick W.
