Extreme Weather and Natural Hazards
Model how we can respond to changing climate patterns and extreme weather events. Interactive STEM lessons explore how communities can mitigate the effects of floods, tornados, heat waves, and winter storms. This activity bundle was developed through the Adaptive and Resilient Infrastructures driven by Social Equity (ARISE) project through an NSF EPSCoR grant.
Betting on Biodiversity
Explain effects of biodiversity and collect data on local biodiversity and soil quality.
Bundle Up!
Explain what a 100-year winter storm is and how we can keep ourselves safe.
If you can’t stand the heat
Explain why heat islands happen and what a community can do to mitigate them.
Particulate about Air
Explain effects of particulate matter in the air and collect information on local air quality.
Stemming the Flood
Explain effects of floods and design a plan to mitigate flooding damage.
The Cyclone Zone
Explain the effects of tornadoes and design a structure to reduce tornado impact.
