Information about Climate Change
Learn about climate change over the past 150 years with the Atlas of Canada
Discover Climate Change and Our Planet with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Learn about climate change, geophysics, natural hazards and more.
Learn about how the Arctic, a very important part of Canada, is changing in response to a warming climate on NOAA's site, Arctic Change.
Learn about the Cryosphere with the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). The cryosphere includes all parts of the Earth where the surface water is frozen, such as glaciers, sea ice and permafrost, all of which are important indicators of climate change.

Challenge your students to reduce their household water use using tips from the RésEau Water Use Guide.
Have your students learn about water monitoring through various Thematic Maps provided by RésEau, or have them create their own interactive map.
Project Opportunities for Students and Teachers
Help Environment Canada collect information on indicators of ecosystem health with NatureWatch.
Help monitor the quality of your water resources and the health of your local aquatic ecosystems with the Water Monitoring Youth Portal.
