around us, and we can do something about that.• Measurable Objectives: Thousands of kids will complete the

activity and join the new climate community on WebRangers site.

• Technique: Interactive games and on-line community• Description: Children explore evidence of climate change in

several parks and conclude that the globe is warming; learn about the carbon cycle and human contribution to climate; learn about and have opportunity to commit to take action.

• Timeline to Complete: First activity (Investigating Global Connections) is complete and on line. Second two (one on the science and one on what kids can do) expected to go live in February 2011.

• NASA Resources: scientist expertise, visualizations, images, climate change websites, EarthObservatory
