  • The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - Climate Timeline

    This site provides an online tool that allows you to examine climate change and variability at different time scales, from daily diurnal cycles to over 100,000 years ago. While the focus is on past climate change, it provides a better understanding of current and future climate issues. The Historical Overview section is provided for each time period listed, as well as sections on Climate Science, Climate History, and Resources.

  • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – Ocean Service Education

    These materials explain the factors that impact the Earth's weather and climate. They describe how changes in temperature or air circulation are part of complex, long-term cycles. Understanding the influence of ocean conditions on the Earth’s climate and monitoring changes in ocean conditions are key to predicting climate change. Includes Classroom Resource Section, Teacher Tutorials, and Interactive video segments that all address how oceans, weather and climate are interrelated.

  • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – Climate Program

    NOAA embarked upon an ambitious program to develop a NOAA Climate Services Portal (NCS Portal). The goal is for the Portal to become the "go-to" website for NOAA's climate data, products, and services for all users. It includes articles, data/services, resources on understanding climate and an education section.

  • United States Global Change Research Program

    A toolkit for formal and informal educators that includes a 12- minute, high-definition video on climate science, graphics of climate change from federal agencies, links to educational resources, classroom activities, FAQ’s about climate change, glossary of climate change vocabulary, case studies of 11 eco-regions in the U.S.

  • COSEE-Ocean Systems Ocean Climate Interactive

    The COSEE Ocean Systems Ocean Climate Interactive showcases fundamental science concepts which can be mapped within a "big picture context." This flash-based application allows users to explore concepts and their relationships through a variety of assets - videos, images, news articles, and teaching resources - within a profile that gives breadth and depth to the learning experience.
