Educator Workshop: Discussing Climate Science in the Classroom
When: Saturday, April 7, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Where: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California
Target Audience: Teachers for grades 5-12
Overview: Just in time for Earth Day (April 22), teachers will be introduced to several activities that bring current climate science research into the classroom and help students polish their skills in reading and interpreting graphs. Participants will explore how NASA is tracking the effects of climbing carbon dioxide levels, sea level and global temperatures.
- Participants should bring a laptop or tablet to be able to use during the workshop.
- This workshop is not available online; you must physically be present to participate.

- Graphing Global Temperature Trends (Grades 5-12) – Students use global temperature data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends.
- Graphing Sea-Level Trends (Grades 5-12) – In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.
- Climate Science Lesson Collection (Grades K-12) – Explore more activities and lessons from NASA/JPL Edu all about climate science.
