Yes. We recently have two sets of lab activities that can be used in climate-related topics:
\nMiddle School
\n<\/strong>Weather, Climate, and Water Cycling: Vernier Supplement to OpenSciEd Unit 6.3<\/i><\/a> (OSE-63WC-E<\/nobr>) is part of the our free supplement to OpenSciEd Unit 6.3.<\/p>\n

High School:<\/strong>
\nClimate and Meteorology Experiments<\/i><\/a> (HSB-CM-E<\/nobr>)
\nsupports Climate and Meteorology Experiments with Go Direct®<\/sup> Package<\/a> (GDP-CM<\/nobr>)<\/p>\n

In November of 2010, Dave Vernier attended a conference at West Point Academy and learned that West Point had already been using Vernier sensors as part of the military education preparation for a changing climate. Most of the activities were from our existing lab books; they also had developed a few new ideas.<\/p>\n

In order to make it easier to teach about climate change, we decided to make four of the inquiry-style climate change activities available as a free download at:
\nhttps:\/\/www.vernier.com\/files\/sample_labs\/VST-climate-change-investigations.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

These labs come from three different lab books:
\nInvestigating Environmental Science through Inquiry<\/i><\/a> (ESI<\/nobr>)
\nInvestigating Chemistry through Inquiry<\/i><\/a> (CHEM-I<\/nobr>)
\nInvestigating Biology through Inquiry<\/i><\/a> (BIO-I<\/nobr>)<\/p>\n

There are several other classroom activities that could be included in a climate-themed unit; these can be found at:

We also recommend the work of the Paleontological Research Institution<\/a>, based in Ithaca, NY. Their Teacher-Friendly Guides series includes a book entitled The Teacher-Friendly Guide to Climate Change<\/em>. This guide has many useful resources for incorporating climate change lessons into science programs. It is available as a free download at:
