Tackling the Global Warming Challenge in a Rapidly Changing World
How is Earth changing as climate warms? Can we slow or stop climate change? The effects of global warming are generating many questions among students. In the workshop "Tackling the Global Warming Challenge in a Rapidly Changing World" we explored classroom activities that allow students to explore the impact they make on the planet and which changes can help keep Earth a livable place. These topics will be approached from a STEM perspective, helping students be objective scientists as they consider solutions to climate change while fostering a “We can do it!” attitude in the classroom.
