Global Carbon Dioxide Levels

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:

Update: March 13, 2018 – This workshop is full. See below for online lessons and resources related to this workshop.


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.
  • This workshop is limited to educators at U.S.-based institutions and organizations

  • 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.
