several parks and conclude that the globe is warming; learn about the carbon cycle and human contribution to climate; learn about and have opportunity to commit to take action.
• Timeline to Complete: First activity (Investigating Global Connections) is complete and on line. Second two (one on the science and one on what kids can do) expected to go live in February 2011.
