Earth Science Educator Workshop
When: Saturday, Dec. 1, 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 alongside special guest scientists from JPL. 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.
- This workshop is not available online; you must be physically present to participate.
- Please bring a tablet or laptop, if possible.
- This workshop is limited to educators at U.S.-based institutions and organizations.
- Note: Due to Mars InSight landing events, the venue may need to be moved. If any complications arise, you will be notified one week in advance via phone or email.
