Carbon Footprint Calculator:
• Good for high school students. Students could do this calculator on their own, or the teacher could lead a “class estimate” discussion using a document camera: http://footprint-calculator.islandwood.org/
• A clearinghouse of several different footprint calculators from child-friendly to very detailed: http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/climate-weather/stories/the-15-best-car...
• This one is the best but it requires students to bring information from home….their power bill, how much propane is used, vehicle gas mileage etc. This calculator would take an entire class period to do and then discuss: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/ind-calculator.html#c=wast...

NRDC Resources: In addition to our recommendation to use the Natural Resources Defense Council film, Acid Test: The Global Challenge in Lesson 3, we also suggest you check out other NRDC resources such as their curriculum kit: http://www.nrdc.org/oceans/acidification/aboutthefilm.asp

The Habitable Planet: contains lessons and a simulation

Connections to Careers and Stakeholders: Showing videos that serve multiple purposes is important. For example, you can highlight various stakeholders' perspectives and show career connections in short videos.  This is especially important in Lessons 3 and 4 when we want to build student empathy and confidence for tackling these issues. Here is an example of a video that highlights Alaskan residents as people who rely on a pristine environment and shows interesting ocean acidification research job tasks: You can find the video here, or on the Alaska Ocean Acidification Network website.

CIA website with fact book is very interesting resource that could allow students to explore their possible interest groups and could also be used in Lesson 6 as they prepare for their summit. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/

Expertise LLC is a Seattle-based company that has developed a consumer resource center aimed at educating readers on various green technologies and strategies.   Their guides may be helpful for students during Lesson 6 as they research products and technologies that can be used in an effort to decrease their carbon footprint. See this link for more information:  http://www.expertise.com/green.

A great, 10-minute video that highlights partnerships and collaboration as a means for solutions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=50&v=2KLT9vFVOmc.

Shell Dissolution Lab/Activities:
• InSTEP Florida Institute of Technology - http://www.instep.fit.edu instep@fit.edu. InSTEP doesn’t seem to have updated in the past two years, but we have left their information here on the off chance they bring their materials back online. See the C-MORE activities below for a classic shell dissolution in acid activity if you’re looking for one.
• 30 second time-lapse of a sand dollar dissolving in diluted vinegar. Cool!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbkWkFu0XgY

Diatom Lab Resources/Activities
• The Plankton Chronicles: http://planktonchronicles.org is the home page for a collection of video shorts on plankton. They have a dedicated section on diatoms and one on sea urchin larvae which reinforces Virtual Urchin activity. They also have an overview of planktonic ecosystem athttp://www.ted.com/talks/the_secret_life_of_plankton.html
• Dr. David G. Mann. General Info about Diatoms—WOW!! So much info!! http://tolweb.org/Diatoms/21810
For a rubric for the inquiry lesson, something like this one at the Biology Corner could work well:http://www.biologycorner.com/worksheets/carbondioxide.html

There is a great deal of public data available to help students plan their experiment. Here are a few good sites:
• Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems http://www.nanoos.org/ or specifically http://nvs.nanoos.org/Explorer
• Integrated Ocean Observing Systems: http://www.ioos.noaa.gov/, or specifically http://www.ioos.noaa.gov/catalog/welcome.html
• Also, see many other sites available in the formal Lessons 4-6 such as that found through NOAA (www.noaa.gov) and Eyes Over Puget Sound at WA State Department of Ecology (http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/mar_wat/surface.html).

Additional Climate Change Curriculum:

• 9 Ready-to-use lessons, 5 readings and teacher support materials. There are a few good lessons that could link to ISB/Thaps: the one on Carbon Dioxide Trends, Carbon Footprint and What is Climate and How is it Changing? https://www.facingthefuture.org/Curriculum/PreviewandBuyCurriculum/tabid...

• C-MORE Curriculum

• EPA site has interactives, lessons and video. Click on a site on the map and go!

• HI curriculum: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~himbed/forms/HIMB-Ocean-Acidification-Lab.pdf
Prelab info at the beginning of this site is a nice reading piece for students, though may be difficult for some students to read.

• For ELL: http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/0911/091130-co2.html

• A Colorado teacher and student recommend this site as a nice jumping off point for discussing both the causes of climate change and ways to prevent it:  "Heating the Earth with Global Warming."

Thank you to everyone for their recommendations!
