Climate Change/NSTA Symposium:

Climate Change Here and Now: Communicating and Teaching about Climate Change

During this half-day Symposium, scientists and education specialists from EPA, NOAA, and the U.S. Forest Service presented information about how to address climate science and impacts, common misconceptions about climate, the processes of science, and controversial issues in the classroom. Participants were provided with resources and classroom activities that highlight the choices we face in response to climate change and the development of climate-literate citizens. Each participant received a $60 stipend for attendance.

This symposium was held at the NSTA National Conference on Science Education in San Francisco, CA. The program was designed for teachers 5-12.
