Hot Spot Investigators
In this hands-on STEM activity, students become environmental scientists, exploring how solar radiation impacts their local surroundings. Through data collection, analysis, and design, they will better understand how surface properties influence heat absorption and propose innovative, real-world cooling solutions for urban environments. As an optional extension, students could share their findings in an eCard, or test their results by building and placing solar ovens in optimal locations.
School Greening: Investigating Simulator Solutions
Investigate real-world solutions to flooding and heat using the Flood:ED School Greening Simulator, then apply what you learn to design a safer, more climate-resilient community.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage
What if you could vacuum carbon right out of the air and turn pollution into products? That’s carbon capture! Carbon dioxide warms our planet, but with Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), we can trap it, use it, and store it safely. Discover how CO₂ can become the hero in our fight against climate change!
