Description:
Teaching undergraduate non-science majors how to analyze climate data calls for careful consideration of their backgrounds and interests. This event brings together the authors of two Project EDDIE modules: Paleoclimate and Ocean Biogeochemistry and Prairie Eco Services so that you might explore how to start teaching your students about climate change using data. You will have time for discussion with one of the authors at the end of this event.
Webinar Goals:
By the end of the event attendees will:
- Have an introduction to the strategies for using large data sets to teach about climate change.
- Learn about the Project EDDIE Paleoclimate and Ocean Biogeochemistry and Prairie Eco Services modules and how they were implemented
- Gain ideas for how you might adapt the Project EDDIE Paleoclimate and Ocean Biogeochemistry and Prairie Eco Services modules for use in your classroom.
