Earth-System Lab Slide the CO₂ level and watch warming, sea level & Arctic ice respond on a live model curve — predict first, then let the model reveal it. 
Feedback Loops Build the four loops that drive Earth’s climate — ice-albedo, water vapor, permafrost methane, ocean carbon. Reinforcing or balancing? 
Carbon Bathtub Predict which way CO₂ heads — emissions in, natural sinks out. A hands-on look at why the level keeps rising. 
ClimateQuest Journey A path through every kit — clear each stop of real practice, then move on. All activities
Model & investigate
Earth-System Lab Predict the warming, then let the model reveal it — greenhouse forcing, global warming, sea-level rise, and Arctic sea ice on one live curve. Feedback-Loop Builder The four climate loops — reinforcing or balancing? Assemble each in cause-and-effect order, then trace what happens next. Carbon Bathtub Predict which way CO₂ heads — tap in, sinks out — and see why the level keeps climbing. Ozone or Greenhouse? Two stories that get mixed up — the ozone layer (UV shield) vs the greenhouse effect (trapped heat). Sort each one, then decide if a fix really helps. Different problems, both fixable. Teach the Cast Teach a climate idea to a cast member still learning it — teaching makes it stick.
Practice & play
Mixed Practice A short round across the kits you have played — brought back to make it stick. ClimateQuest Sprint A calm speed round on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Trick Questions Brain-teasers with a twist — spot why the obvious answer is a trap. ClimateQuest Duel 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Or open an online room. Progress Your levels, streak, and how each skill area is coming along — saved on this device. Progress report For grown-ups — a private on-device snapshot mapped to the skill areas. Export a CSV or print.

-
Haze Atmosphere (air, gases, the sky as a thin layer) -
Squall Weather events (vs. climate — short-term variability) -
Round Carbon + water cycles (recurring loops, balance) -
Blanket Greenhouse effect (insulating gases) -
Stitch Collective action / policy / repair -
Glint Ice-albedo feedback (bright ice reflects, dark water absorbs — a warming loop) -
Fathom Ocean heat + carbon sink (thermal inertia — the sea stores and slows change) -
Cusp Tipping points (thresholds where small change flips a system all at once) -
Reclaim Renewable energy (sun, wind, water — power that keeps arriving for free) -
Thaw Permafrost thaw (frozen ground warming — releasing an old carbon secret)
