Here you will find resources to help educators and their students model present and ancient land masses and oceans to determine current flow; explain how ocean currents affect regional and global climate; understand how ocean currents are affected by Earth's moving plates; understand the relationship between climate and Earth processes like moving plates, mountain building and weathering.

Here you will find resources to help educators and their students understand that Earth has an axial tilt of about 23 1/2 degrees; use a glove to model the season on Earth; investigate and understand the cause of the season in relation to the axial tilt of the Earth; Understand that the shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse and that this shape influences climate; understand that insolation to the Earth varies as the inverse square of the distance to the Sun.

Here you will find resources to help educators and their students understand the significance of growth rings in trees as indicators of environmental change; understand the significance of ice cores from glaciers as indicators of environmental change; investigate and understand the significance of geologic sediments as indicators of environmental change; examine the significance of glacial sediments and landforms as evidence for climate change; investigate and understand the significance of fossil pollen as evidence of climate change.
