- https://web.greenninja.org
A program lets students use relevant science and engineering to solve environmental problems and know how to communicate their knowledge. Students generate culminating experiences, as in their Scientific Storytelling, where the program teaches story-making and film-making. - Greenhouse Gases Mathematics Activities
- http://www.earth.uni.edu/EECP/mid/mod5_ma.html
Students are introduced to the different heat-trapping abilities of the major greenhouse gases. The students are challenged to build three-dimensional models illustrating this differing heat-trapping ability. In Activity 2, students keep an Energy Diary which includes a record of all the activities they engaged in, over a one-day period, requiring the use of electricity. They are then able to analyze this data to determine their total contribution to the CO2 in Earth's atmosphere as a result of their use of electricity for that day. In the final activity, students discover the CO2-absorbing ability of trees. Mathematics is used as a tool to help the students convince others to go out and plant a tree. - High Adventure Science – What is the future of Earth's climate?
- https://learn.concord.org/has-climate
"Through a series of guided questions, students explore interactions between factors that affect Earth's climate. They explore temperature data from ice cores, sediments, and satellites and greenhouse gas data from atmospheric measurements, run experiments with computer-based models, and hear from a climate scientist working to answer the same question."
