“How Climate Shapes My World”

If you were putting together a travel brochure about your local area, what image would best represent your climate? No matter where you are, your climate affects - and is affected by - air, water, land, and living things. Use your camera to get the best possible “Climate Capture,” and submit it to this year’s Earth Science Week Photo Contest. More info.

Visual Arts Contest

“The Climate Where I Live”

What is the climate like where you live? And what was the climate like in your area thousands of years ago? You will need to talk with your teacher to find out about the long-term weather patterns that have made up your area’s climate. In your poster, show the typical climate where you live now and how it was 100,000 years ago. More info.

Essay Contest

“Climate Connections”

Earth science is all about the interactions among Earth’s systems: geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. These systems work together to produce Earth’s various climatic regions. Write an essay exploring the ways climate interacts with Earth’s systems in your area. What impact does climate have on each system? How do these systems influence climate? More info.
