This activity guides the analysis of a published scientific figure from a study that investigated how salt affects the electron transport chain.

In this hands-on activity, students simulate the effects of decreasing pH caused by rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

This activity analyzes a figure showing the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration from 1958 to 2023.

This activity analyzes a published scientific figure from a study that tested whether corals can become more resistant to bleaching.

This activity allows students to use authentic scientific data to make claims about the threat of coral bleaching for reefs around the world.

This video describes the work of biologists Steve Palumbi and Megan Morikawa, who use field and controlled experiments to understand the mechanisms that allow some corals to tolerate a greater amount of heat stress than other corals.

This video follows biologist Liz Hadly in Yellowstone National Park as she discusses how ecosystems are threatened by warming temperatures.

This activity allows students to calculate their carbon footprint using an online calculator.

This interactive module examines Earth’s past and present climate, highlighting the effects of two important factors: solar radiation and the composition of the atmosphere.
