|Climate in Peril||Stephen MacKinnon||
The main purpose of this short guide is to help bridge the gap between science and policy and to increase public awareness about the urgency of action to combat climate change and its impacts. Report from the IPCC.
Sara *** still a rather long read but contains some great information on the basics of climate change and includes an amazing amount of visuals (graphs, diagrams…..)"
DF - excellent source of data - need an assignment that makes good use of this information.
|Frequently Asked Questions about the Science of Climate Change||Stephen MacKinnon||
Canadians frequently ask questions that indicate considerable public confusion about many aspects of climate change science.
Sara **** a great starting point, many students will have the same questions, allowing teachers to correct any incorrect r previous knowledge students may have had on the subjectDF - this would need an assignment to accompany the website - otherwise a bit of a "massive" body of text.

|Greenhouse Gas Investigations||Stephen MacKinnon||
Greenhouse Gas Investigations is Lesson 1 from "Climate Change: Connections & Solutions". Through an experiment, students explore Earth’s greenhouse effect and graph results of 3 scenarios to draw conclusions about how greenhouse gases affect air temperature.
Sara **** This site contains a total of 9 lessons and 5 readings on climate change for High school Students
|Greenhouse Gas Investigations||DougFraser||
DF - This is a pretty \"hokey\" lab and not sure it if valid - far too many uncontrolled variables - I would not recommend this one. Also - this website requires the teacher to register/join FtF and become a \"member\" - do we want to include this? Not sure teachers will want to do this - I\'m always hesitant.

|Science and Global Warming||DougFraser||
This is a useful resource for teachers and students - it is rather lengthy and slow going so not useful as a primary resource for the classroom but it is quite thorough. It can be used as an overview of the evidence and why scientists and scientific organizations are convinced that AGW is happening.
