Preservice Day Session: Engaging in Climate
Science
In this session preservice teachers will explore several
activities that help them present climate science through data collection,
virtual modeling, and place-based inquiry.
Takeaways: 1. Examine how increasing the amount of black carbon (soot) on Earth's surface, especially in the polar regions, can increase the amount of energy absorbed by Earth's surface; 2. Become familiar with the AMS Conceptual Climate Energy Model, a computer simulation designed to enable you to track the paths that units of energy might follow as they enter, move through, and exit an imaginary planetary climate system; and 3. Use local empirical data from the U.S. Weather Service to discover climate change at a local level.
Speakers
Presenter Materials for this Session:
Engage and explore climate models with the AMS Conceptual Climate Energy ModelEngage in an investigation that explores energy flow in a highly simplified representation of an imaginary planet and the space environment above it. The purpose is to provide insight into the impacts of physical processes that operate in the real world. We will also engage with Climate Variability and Climate Change...
