Excerpts
from
"Climate Change
and Our Future"
This
film features Dr. William Moomaw and young people discussing,
in plain English, the science of climate change, its connection
to human activities and energy use, and what is being
done locally, nationally, and internationally to reduce
carbon emissions. Dr. Moomaw presents, interprets and
explains the evidence, using PowerPoint slides, while
students respond, ask questions, and press for solutions.
Additional slides and drawings are used to illustrate
his points and the discussion.

Excerpts
from
"Freeze,
Freeze, Fry: Climate Past, Present,
and Future"
Join
an animated paleoclimatologist and geo-chemical
oceanographer, Dr. Schrag, as he presents the
latest discoveries on how the planet ticks,
reveals how science works in the real world,
shares his field work and that of others, and
models passion, curiosity, and concern over
the accelerating pace of global change. The
science is enlivened by -- and made accessible
to all audiences through -- field photos that
“take you there,” charts, graphs,
maps, satellite images, and original illustrations,
all chosen to enhance the teaching and learning
value of the DVD. Solutions are also discussed.
Student and teacher interviews are part of bonus
material. 48 chapter stops provide easy navigation
and the ability to select from the two hours
of rich content. (To see the 47 topics
covered, click

teachers and students in grades 5-12, professional
development for teachers of all grades and subjects,
and informal educators.

Excerpts
from
"Thin
Ice -
Earth in the Time
of Climate Change"
This
film features Dr. Paul Hoffman and young people
discussing why earth has the climate it has
now, what causes climate to change, how cold
and hot it has ever been on earth (the evidence
for his "Snowball Earth" theory)
and field observations made in Greenland and
Antarctica. Over fifty illustrations and images
have been used to illustrate the science and
discussion. They include maps, charts, graphs,
original drawings, satellite images, photographs,
photos from Dr. Hoffman's fieldwork, and animations.
Dr. Hoffman also shares rocks from his field
work with the students. The
Classroom Encounter segment has forty
chapter stops, one for each teaching
point or question, so the viewer may navigate
as he or she likes, spending as much or as
little time on a question or clip as the viewer
wishes. (To see, click
