Exploring Water, Climate and Conservation With NASA and NGSS

When: Monday, Oct. 10, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Where: Fleet Science Center, San Diego, California

Target Audience: Teachers for grades 5-10, but all educators are welcome

Overview: Educators will explore NASA resources and examine real satellite data to see how rising global temperatures are impacting glaciers and sea level on Earth. Looking toward solutions, educators will design water-filtration and recycling systems to minimize our adverse impact on the water cycle. Lessons, taught by a NASA/JPL education specialist, are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and include tools to vary the implementation for different age groups.

Cost: $15
