Resources: For Teachers and Students
Last Update: 10.26.2016
Virginia 3rd grade teacher Alberta Ferris kindly called my attention to a wonderful resource for teachers who are doing a unit on weather, Air & Water: Weather Forecasting for Kids (link below), on which you will find 15 links to further teaching resources about the weather. I think they are suitable for both elementary and middle school classes. Since the primary focus of my website is climate science education I immediately checked out A Student's Guide to Global Climate Change (link below), which has further links to explore various topics in more depth, including an excellent short video. My only mild criticism would be that I wish there were a segment explaining a little more explicitly the difference between "weather" and "climate" since these concepts are often confused in the minds of adults as well as children. All in all, however, these are great resources and thanks to Alberta Ferris for bringing these sites to my attention.

"his is part of a website provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The main site: Here is a very good source
of information for adults about climate change.
Air & Water: Weather Forecasting for Kids
Teacher Patty Nevlin and her students suggest the following article having excellent links to climate change, energy and waste reduction and recycling information designed for use by children.
NASA Climate Kids NASA's Eyes on the Earth
A great NASA website for children.
The resources here are from the Climate Portal of the Universal-Universalist United Nations Office:
