Source:
- MIT Climate Portal
Resource type:
- classroom activity
Discipline:
- Earth science
Time: up to 2 hours
Overview
How do clouds form? How are clouds affected by (and how do they affect) climate change? Students create a cloud in the classroom, and then investigate climate models and real-time cloud observation data.
Climate Models and Uncertainty
Grade Level(s):
- 9-12
Source:
- MIT Climate Portal
Resource type:
- classroom activity
Discipline:
- Earth science
Time: up to 2 hours
Overview
Earth's climate system is enormously complex, and scientists develop climate models to understand how climate change will play out in different parts of the world. Students play a climate resilience game, and then explore the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 5th Assessment Report to learn more about how climate scientists handle uncertainty in models.
