Workshop
Exploring Water, Climate and Conservation With NASA and NGSS (NEW DATE)
When:
Monday, November 7, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.Where:
Fleet Science Center, San Diego, CaliforniaTarget Audience:
Educators for grades 5-10, but all educators are welcomeOverview:
Update, Oct. 10, 2016 - This event has been rescheduled to Monday, Nov. 7, 2016.
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.

- 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.
- Global Warming Demonstration: This demonstration uses a water balloon to show how Earth's oceans are absorbing most of the heat being trapped on our warming world.
- NASA's Earth Minute Video Series: This white-board animation video series explains key concepts about Earth science, missions and climate change.
