FEAST: Climate and Energy for Teachers

Free for Educators: Advance RSVP Required
At this session our focus will be on climate and energy. We will start off looking at "tree cookies" as recorders of climate change. What can we tell by looking at a single tree ring? Consider sharing your favorite activities about how the weather and climate change with the seasons. How does human use of energy impact the climate? What kinds of renewable energy technologies can we use that generate less or no carbon emissions? What are the impacts of carbon emissions on our surrounding natural ecosystem? Bring your ideas, demonstrations or lessons, and share how you've made this connection with students. If time permits, we will take a short hike in the redwoods to do a few activities.

If you missed last month or have another "cool, must do", teacher-tested demo or activity reserved for that "special" time in your science classroom…Halloween, Earth Day, National Science and Engineering Day, or…bring that to share too!
