Understanding Climate Change Activity for the Classroom
This Activity will look at Climate Change through the use of ArcGIS for Schools.
The workshop will outline how you might use ArcGIS for Schools to discuss Climate Change with your class.
By the end of the activity your class will have learned how to:
Find Areas that are predicted to change because of Climate Change
Develop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth cause patterns or atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates from Esri GeoInquiries TM Collection of Earth Science lessons for Schools using ArcGIS.
From this, you will be able to teach your students how to describe changes in Global temperature and precipitation amounts and infer their consequences on current Bio-regions
Investigate the impact of Ocean Acidification through a web map learning how to:
Add and investigate data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, from ArcGIS Online onto a web map
NOAA's mission is to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts, to share that knowledge and information with others, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources. Dedicated to the understanding and stewardship of the environment.

Earthquake Lesson using ArcGIS for Schools
This workshop will show you how to examine Earthquakes in ArcGIS Online and how to create a web map with data already in ArcGIS Online
This workshop can also help you teach one of the learning outcomes in Strand 1: Exploring the physical world of Junior Cycle Geography or it can be used as a topic for a Classroom Based Assessment
1.1 Describe the formation and global distribution of volcanoes, earthquakes, and fold mountains in the context of plate tectonics and structure of the earth
Earthquakes are happening all the time all over the world as the earth moves and because of this we would like to go through how to find GIS data in ArcGIS Online and investigate the distribution of recent earthquakes on a map.
In this workshop we will explore the earthquakes that happened recently in Chile and explore reasons for why they happened through data we find in ArcGIS Online.

Measuring Drainage Basins of 10 Major World Rivers
This activity looks at the drainage basins of 10 major rivers around the world. Students log in to ArcGIS Online and use the Measure Tool to estimate the area of a river’s drainage basin. They copy the information from the map into a PowerPoint presentation. Students can then use the Create Watersheds analysis tool to find out the exact area of the drainage basin. Comparisons can then be made between the estimated measurement and the output area of the analysis tool. Students are encouraged to explore the map to discover tributaries of each river and other landforms that may impact the location of the drainage basin. A link to a video demonstrating the activity is included within this resource. Thank you to Andy Funnell at Omagh High School, County Tyrone for creating this activity.

Health care spending varies greatly - the US being the biggest spender with little to show for it. The US spends more than two times as much per head as France (for example) but has a shorter average life expectancy.
Data from OECD. The data set is limited, but makes for very interesting study as it contains information on countries at different stages of development.

Nepal’s earthquakes
The Himalyan collision zone has been the location of many major earthquakes. Nepal is a poor country, landlocked and with difficult terrain - a bad place for an earthquake to occur. While the 2015 earthquake hit the headlines, this map shows how frequent earthquakes are in Nepal. It may be further styled and filtered for depth and magnitude.
