This
activity
explores
the
potential
impact
of
climate
variability
and
change
on
one
of
Earth's
increasingly
vulnerable
resources,
forests.
Although
the
activity
is
designed
to
tap
specific
skills
and
knowledge
through
scientific
inquiry,
its
broader
intent
is
to
stimulate
thought
about
the
long-term
impacts
of
a
warmer
planet.
The
scenario
invites
students
to
examine
higher
level
issues
of

This
series
of
activities
demonstrates
some
effects
of
rising
levels
of
greenhouse
gases
on
climate.
Specifically,
it
shows
how
an
increase
of
heat-trapping
gases
in
the
atmosphere
raises
temperatures;
higher
temperatures
affect
the
water
cycle,
and
rising
sea
levels
could
affect
coastal
areas
as
a
result
of
glacial
and
polar
ice
melt.
Although
these
activities
are
designed
to
teach
specific

This
module
provides
three
activities
that
explore
the
potential
impact
of
climate
variability
and
change
on
Earth's
most
abundant
resource,
water.
Although
each
activity
is
designed
to
tap
specific
skills
and
knowledge
to
yield
scientific
results,
the
broader
intent
is
to
stimulate
thought
about
the
long-term
impacts
of
a

This
module
is
designed
to
connect
cutting
edge
NASA
research
with
the
teaching
and
learning
of
core
science
and
mathematics
concepts
and
skills
while
addressing
state
and
national
education
standards.
The
process
of
science
inquiry
and
the
tools
used
to
do
research
play
a
major
role
in
all
the
lessons.
Topics
and
