We just obtained a number of copies of this report which we are now handing out to our partner teachers as part of book cases we recently acquired. Time will tell if the report is used, and if so, if we will get feedback on student's comments. (J. Dengg, IFM-GEOMAR, Kiel, Jul-08)Keywords: reports, reference
Practical advice on how to implement a CarboSchools project.
Short, updated synthesis-version of the Teacher-Scientist Partnership Guide.

An online game where "you are president of the European Nations. You
must tackle climate change and stay popular enough with the voters to
remain in office". The educational goal is "to give an understanding of
some of the causes of climate change, particularly those related to
carbon dioxide emissions, to give players an awareness of some of the
policy options available to governments, and to give a sense of the
challenges facing international climate change negotiators."

I have used this tool a few times for instructional purposes with students 16 years and older. It is nice to demonstrate the idea that the time scales of the effects of climate change can be quite long and to let the students play around with them. However, usually the students pretty quickly get fed up with playing around with a "black box", and I did not manage to find the underlying model equations to learn about the assumptions made in the simulation. My general impression was that the tool might be very powerful if one took the time to really get into it, and even more so if one was able to change the model equations. (J. Dengg, IFM-GEOMAR, Kiel, Jul-08)Keywords: computer, model, simulation

If you want to learn latest results about links between climate change, carbon cycle and ocean, look at a 55 minutes movie realised for CarboOcean, with many interviews of scientists.
A fast internet connection is recommended or you may download the video from a page on the CarboOcean website
Age: look at the movie before showing it to your pupils!
Language: English. Versions with French, German, Spanish and Chinese subtitles are expected for end 2009.
