Homeostasis, Negative Feedback, and Positive Feedback
So many bodily activities depend on homeostasis! Give learners a solid background to understand the basic process of the human body. Scholars first examine negative feedback loops contributing to body temperature regulation and then a...

Homeostasis and Negative Feedback – Concepts and Breathing Experiments
More asthma attacks happen at higher altitudes, but why? Scholars complete worksheets, learning about homeostasis and feedback related to breathing. Then, they work in small groups to experiment with breathing in limited amounts of...

Thyroid Gland and Negative Feedback
Many glands work together to control hormone levels in the body. The interactive focuses on the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus. It demonstrates the interconnections and feedback loops present in the endocrine system.

Homeostasis
How much negative feedback does a body get daily? The interactive walks through one negative feedback loop, increasing body temperature. Then it challenges scholars to relate this to mechanical feedback loops and disorders that prevent...
Curated OER
Homeostasis
In this homeostasis worksheet, learners answer twelve questions about positive and negative feedback loops and how they effect homeostasis.

How Might Global Warming Affect Your Community?
What effects will global warming have on your community? This last installment of a six-part series focuses on the effects that global warming may have on a community. Brainstorming and discussion allow groups to independently develop...
Curated OER
Reflecting on Reflectivity
Students plan and construct a "mini-lab" to measure the reflectivity of different earth surfaces. They measure reflectivity of materials, including ice, soil, rocks, etc., and then extrapolate from what they have learned to consider the...

Climate Change: Carbon Cycle
Learners explore the carbon cycle. In this carbon cycle lesson, students discuss the four main reservoirs where carbon is stored and then discover the process through which each reservoir absorbs and releases CO2. This lesson includes a...

Clean: Climate Feedback Loops
This is the seventh of nine lessons from a student learning module called "Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change." This lesson addresses climate feedback loops and how these loops help drive and regulate Earth's...
