CLEAN Collection: Call for Teaching Materials

The CLEAN collection will be a broad collection of educational activities and resources that will help students, teachers and citizens to improve their understanding of climate science and energy issues. Each resource in the collection will be linked to a specific principle of climate and energy literacy.

We are seeking nominations of materials to be included in the collection. We welcome submissions that:

are directly focused on one of the essential principles of climate literacy and the fundamental concepts (opens in a new window)
will help someone learn specifically about that principle.
are educational activities or interactive tools, visualizations, maps or datasets that can be directly used to create classroom, lab or field activities.

Note that general websites addressing many aspects of climate or energy science are not as useful as specific pages geared toward a focused topic.

Some example activities (opens in a new window) are provided to provide an idea of the types of materials we are looking for. To suggest a resource, please fill out the fields below. Each submission will be reviewed by a panel as the collection is assembled.
