On NASA climate kids there is fun and educational games and activities. the activities and games are interactive and allow for students to enjoy the topics they are learning. this encourages them to want to expand their learning on the topic. Also because climate change is a very big issue it is very important lesson for students.

6. Peer Reviewed Papers: What causes the Earth's climate to change ? 

# data[].attributes.body
This article from British Geological survey explore both natural and human factors that influence the earths climate. In the article it looked at the human factors of greenhouse gas emissions and land use changes such as deforestation and the natural processes such as volcanic activity and plate tectonics which impacts the ocean currents. From recent times I feel many people think climate change is caused primarily from human factors such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation I feel it is important for people to learn that climate change is also caused by natural processes as well. Processes that us as humans cannot stop or alter.

Changes in the Earth's orbit, axial tilt and precession

The three changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun - eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession - are collectively called 'Milankovitch cycles'.

According to Milankovitch's theory, these three cycles combine to affect the amount of solar heat that reaches the Earth's surface and subsequently influences climatic patterns, including periods of glaciation (ice ages). The time period between these changes can be tens of thousands of years (precession and axial tilt) or more than hundreds of thousands of years (eccentricity).
The Earth's orbit
The Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse (an oval shape), but it isn't always the same shape of ellipse. Sometimes, it is almost circular and the Earth stays approximately the same distance from the Sun throughout its orbit. At other times, the ellipse is more pronounced, so that the Earth moves closer and further away from the Sun in its orbit.

When the Earth is closer to the Sun, our climate is warmer and this cycle also affects the length of the seasons. The measure of a shape's deviation from being a circle, in this case the Earth's orbit, is called 'eccentricity'.
The Earth's axial tilt
The tilt in the axis of the Earth is called its 'obliquity'. This angle changes with time, and over about 41 000 years it moves from 22.1° to 24.5° and back again. When the angle increases the summers become warmer and the winters become colder.
The Earth's precession
The Earth wobbles on its axis, much like a spinning top that is slowing down. This is called 'precession' and is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun upon the Earth. This means that the North Pole changes where it points to in the sky. Currently the Earth's axis points at Polaris, the North Star, but over thousands of years the axis moves around in a circle and points at different parts of the sky. It impacts on the seasonal contrasts between hemispheres and the timing of the seasons.

This article highlights the causes of climate but also the options we as the population have to reduce the detrimental effects of climate change in years to come. It is highlighted that we must contribute individually, as a society and as a population. Many local authorities have initiatives in place to reduce the effects of climate change.
