Climate change is the most important science issue of the new century 
and climate topics will connect your students with science every day! 
These topics, drawn from the Massachusetts frameworks, integrate math, 
science, and technology, and offer lots of opportunities for hands-on 
learning. Studying coastal climate change is especially engaging, as 
land, sea and atmosphere interact and affect water, marshes, birds, 
fish, and shellfish.

 

You will hear expert presenters from Woods Hole science institutions, 
sample at the shore of a coastal bay, and collect resources to teach 
about climate science, coastal systems, and how oceans and climate are 
connected. We'll sort out climate fact from fiction, collect data, and 
design investigations for students. Participants will receive lesson 
plans and a resource CD.           

 

Cost  $50 for course to cover materials

            Optional credit costs $165 for 3 graduate credits from 
Framingham State College

            No extra charge for PDPs
