An interactive look at global warming

Discover the factors that govern the Earth’s climate. As “Planetary Explorers,” your students will use the Galactic Academy’s Exploration Simulator to look at the Sun, sunspot cycles, the orbit of the Earth around the Sun and how all of these change during 20,000—100,000 year cycles. In the process, they’ll gain insight into the concept of global warming. Interactive program features stunning images, video and animations reinforced with interactive exercises, including virtual experiments, demonstrations, mini-games and puzzles. Each program also features direct Internet connectivity to allow your students to expand their investigations.
