Earth Science Educator Workshop When: Saturday, Jan. 14, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Where: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California Target Audience: Formal and informal educators for grades K-8 Overview: Explore the impacts of increasing global temperature on glaciers and sea level using real satellite data from NASA. Then, discover ways to turn these resources into engineering, math and science lessons for students. Finally, learn to use the engineering design process to develop water-filtration and recycling systems to minimize our adverse impact on the water cycle. Questions? Call the Educator Resource Center at 818-393-5917. Can't attend the workshop? Explore these lessons online - Water Filtration Challenge – Students work in teams employing an iterative design process to design and build a water filtration device using commonly available materials.
- Lessons in Sea-Level Rise – What is sea-level rise and how does it affect us? This "Teachable Moment" looks at the science behind sea-level rise and offers lessons and tools for teaching students about this important climate topic.
This free workshop is offered through the NASA/JPL Educator Resource Center, which provides formal and informal educators with NASA resources and materials that support STEM learning. Discover More From NASA Space Place |
