Description
Great app for students at home or in school to learn the underpinning science behind global warming thru model simulations and the use of outstanding off-line labs.
Global Warming Science and Model is our impressive instructional software on global warming and the resulting climate change. It provides a logical sequential series of engaging simulations of the important concepts needed to understand why global warming of the Earth is happening. These simulations along with the supporting information provided make the concepts involved much more accessible and meaningful to students than what can be found in text books and/or many web sites. The software also includes an authentic atmospheric/ocean coupled global climate model (GCM). This final simulation has a simple elegance. It is easy to use with clear understandable results; yet unleashes the incredible computational power of your iPad or recent desktop computer, and uses many advanced methods, to deliver compelling inference on the future of the Earth (note iPads older than 2014 are too slow to reasonably run the GCM module).
The content for the software, and the included GCM, are based extensively on the technical reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), NASA, and NOAA. Through our software this information is made readily accessible to students in order to provide them with a sound scientific understanding of how greenhouse gases provide our planet with the global climate we have and why it can change. It also provides students with insights into the many uncertainties involved in predicting the future of our climate due to the nonlinear complexities of the feedbacks mechanisms involved in the Earths dynamic climate system.
This instructional software includes hands-on lessons and excellent off-line labs which together can provide weeks of curriculum for grades 8 to college; or which because of the software’s module design, can readily be used with other existing curriculum. With the content carefully layered and differentiated so that it will be effective for learning at numerous levels of education and abilities.
This software will free up more of your time to discuss and assimilate higher principles and understandings. Consider how much more meaningful and comprehensible climate study discussion can be when your students have a sound working knowledge of the processes that are causing climate change. Our global warming software is well tested and is in use at many high schools and colleges around the USA and across the world.
What’s New
Version 3.2
App updates for iOS15. Changed App store name to be more descriptive and reflect that the app now can be used on more than just mobile devices.
Ratings and Reviews
Unlimited potential
This software is the best tool I have seen for teaching climate change in the classroom. The software is flexible so you can use it as a supplement to what you already teach regarding climate change or you can use this software as well as the included curriculum to teach your own climate unit.
What makes this software really stand out is that the many simulations are an extension of cool hands-on labs that you can do in the classroom. In addition the software has an authentic climate model that students can use to make predictions about future climate. Students learn about and research feedback loops, trends in atmospheric gas and input their data into the climate model to find out how these changes will impact future climates. The climate model alone is worth the price.
Excellent Learning App to understand why global warming is happening
Solid presentation of why there is forced warming of the Earth happening. The topic of global warming is often misunderstood as politics when in fact there are clear physics in play. Every student should have the chance to learn about global warming through an educational app like this one so that they are well grounded and competent with the science behind the publications and predictions they may read! The write-ups for hands-on activities to do along with the software are remarkable learning opportunities. I can certainly understand why high schools and colleges are using this app for instruction on the topic.
Great App for learning Science behind Global Warming
I’m highly impressed by the way this app teaches the science behind this complicated subject it a way that makes it easy to understand. There is an amazing amount of information and learning that takes place with the app and it has some really great labs that make use of readily available materials to bring on a hands on element to the learning process. Whether you’re a teacher, student, or someone who wants to dig beyond the news headlines to understand this important subject, you be extremely pleased with it, just as I was.
