Workshop
Where Engineering Meets Earth Science
When:
Saturday, January 23, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (1p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EST)Where:
Online (link will be provided to registered participants)Target Audience:
Teachers for grades 2-12Overview:
In this interactive virtual workshop for teachers, we will discuss activities for both online and in-person classrooms that examine how NASA tracks climate change on Earth. We will explore data-focused activities that detail how scientists collected information well before the era of space satellites and how the process – and our understanding of climate change – has evolved with the advanced technology aboard NASA's fleet of Earth science satellites.
Also, join us earlier in the week for our Teaching Space With NASA live stream to get a primer on this topic from NASA experts. All audiences welcome. A recording will be made available after the live stream.
