The Rocky Mountain and Plains Regional Climate Science Education Collaborative
Check out! Climate Ambassadors: http://www.epa.gov/climateforaction/
The purpose of the Collaborative
is to act as a regional repository of educational information, resources and experts
in Climate Science and Global Climate Change for the Rocky Mountains and Plains.
The Collaborative will maintain this up-to-date informative website, an e-mail
listserve and a list of experts in the field of Climate Education. The Collaborative
will host regular meetings and coordinate outreach activities. The Collaborative
is hosted by the U.S. EPA, Region 8 Environmental Education Program.
Partners in the Collaborative
are:
Gore Range Natural Science School
Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education
Thorne Ecological Institute
Keystone Science School
Project Wet-Colorado
Denver Museum of Nature and Science
Colorado Water Conservation Board
National Wildlife Federation
University Corporation for Atmospheric Research
Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Studies
If you are interested in
joining the Collaborative, please contact Wendy Dew, EPA at: 303-312-6605 or
Ali Goulstone Sweeney, CAEE at 303-273-9527.

| Climate Status Investigations | Welcome
to The Keystone Center’s curriculum website with over 65 lessons developed
to introduce middle and high school teachers and their students to the topic
of climate change and to provide new ways of thinking about the problem
and potential solutions. The curricula provide teachers with a non-biased
framework for investigating climate change. |

| Climate Discovery | The goals of the Climate Discovery online workshop series is to provide standards-relevant science content, training on easy to implement hands-on classroom activities, and a broad overview of the geosciences to educator-leaders who are teaching sciences at the middle and high school levels. | http://www.eo. ucar.edu/educators/ links_high.html |
| Climate Classroom | ClimateClassroom.org helps educate children about global climate change in accurate, developmentally appropriate, and hopeful ways. Sections designed for parents and K-12 educators provide talking points, attractive visuals, instructional guidelines, and helpful resource links for investigating the topic with children. An additional section for school-age children offers quality learning experiences and realistic suggestions for becoming part of the global-warming solution. | http://www.clima teclassroom.org |
| Climate Check | High school students can investigate the link between everyday actions at their high school, greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. | http://www.epa. gov/climatechange /wycd/school.html |
| Climate Change and You Factsheets | Factsheets about what you can do to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. | |
