Title: NASA: Climate Kids
Url: https://climatekids.nasa.gov
Publisher: Jet Propulsion Laboratory (U.S.)
Description: Originally launched in 2010 and currently in its third iteration, NASA's Climate Kids website offers children, parents, and teachers a fantastic resource for exploring "the story of our changing planet through the eyes of the NASA missions studying Earth." Here, visitors can learn about various aspects of Earth's climate and climate change in approachable terms, such as the difference between weather and climate, the urban heat island effect, and the climate's effects on oceans. Toward the bottom of the main page are links to Climate Kids' collections of interactive games, educational activities, and even information about related careers. In addition to its own pages, Climate Kids occasionally links to relevant educational resources on other federal agencies' websites, such as NASA's Space Place and NOAA's SciJinks, which are denoted by a darker color. While Climate Kids primarily targets children in upper elementary grades, anyone wanting to brush up on their climate science basics can also benefit from perusing this resource. With its content updated regularly, Climate Kids is produced by the NASA Space Place team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and managed by Heather Doyle.
