Arctic Climate Impact Assessment - Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme
Grades
7 to 12tag(s): arctic (33)
In the Classroom
Have students choose one AMAP assessment topic (mercury pollution, plastic pollution, radioactivity, or climate change impacts) and read the corresponding "Summary for Policy-makers" document. Students then create their own policy recommendations, public service announcements, or presentations explaining the issue and proposed solutions. This interdisciplinary activity combines science literacy, critical thinking, and civic engagement while helping students understand how scientific research informs real-world policy decisions.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Solar System Simulator - NASA
Grades
4 to 12tag(s): planets (124), solar system (125)
In the Classroom
Students use the simulator to explore different planets and moons. They create a travel brochure or postcard using Canva reviewed here for a chosen celestial body, describing its features, climate, and why someone might "visit." Students observe and compare planetary orbits in the simulator. They record differences in orbital speed, distance from the Sun, and revolution time, then discuss how these factors affect a planet's temperature and seasons. Using the simulator, students compare the sizes and distances of planets. They then create a scaled model using everyday objects (ex.: a basketball for Jupiter, a marble for Mercury) to represent the relative sizes and distances. Students design a space mission using the simulator. They pick a starting point (Earth, a spacecraft, or another planet) and determine the best route to another celestial body. They calculate travel time based on distances and research how NASA plans spaceflight routes.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Be sure to bookmark this site as a useful resource for any science topic. Take advantage of the free lessons aligned to Next Generation Science Standards to add to your current content. Replace paper and enhance classroom technology use with an online bulletin board like Lino, reviewed here throughout your science unit to record student questions, ideas, and ongoing discussions. If you use video content during your science lessons, consider incorporating a tool like MoocNote, reviewed here, or EdPuzzle, reviewed here to integrate quizzes and polls directly into your video. Instead of a written or oral presentation of student research, transform classroom technology use and have students use Sway, reviewed here to create a multimedia presentation incorporating video, images, and text.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
