EPA Global Warming Kids Site

The "Environmental Protection Agency Global Warming Kids Site" has been mentioned in some Teacher's Journals and posts here on the Virtual Base Camp. Since this site is such a wonderful resource (and not only just for kids) thought this URL should be highlighted here in the Webliography as well.

http://www.epa.gov/globalwarming/kids/index.html

This site contains excellent animations and explanations including:

* Global Warming (what it is)
* Climate & Weather
* Greenhouse Effect
* What is the Climate System?
* So What's the BIG DEAL?
* We CAN Make a Difference!

At this site you will find: Games, Links, Climate Animations on Earth Processes and Climate Change with a focus on the Water Cycle and the Carbon Cycle, a Glossary, Activities, Quizzes, Online Greenhouse Gas Calculators, Database Query Tools, and Case Studies.

The EPA Global Warming Kids Site can help to connect the Climate Change puzzle pieces thus facilitating "big picture" understanding.
