Sharing the Climate Story with Young Learners Through Elementary GLOBE
Monday, February 6, at 7:30 pm Eastern Time
NOAA's Climate Stewards Education Project is pleased to welcome Lisa Gardiner and Becca Hatheway from the UCAR Center for Science Education, Dr. Diane Stanitski, Deputy Director of NOAA's Global Monitoring Division, and Jessica Taylor, NASA Lead Trainer for the GLOBE Program's Atmosphere Training Center of Excellence as our featured speakers this month.
In this webinar, they will share a new GLOBE elementary school level storybook and set of classroom activities that showcase the science of climate change. The book, "What in the World is Happening to Our Climate?", builds K-4 student understanding of climate science through storytelling, where the kids in the story employ science and engineering practices as they explore our world. Three accompanying classroom activities that are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core help students learn more about the difference between weather and climate, the impacts of sea level rise on coasts, and solutions to slow climate change. All resources were reviewed by climate scientists and field-tested in elementary classrooms and are available online.
