Project Overview

This project develops a digitally-based instructional program that contains data-rich case studies and visualization activities, as well as a visual library as a resource for grade 7-12 teachers and students.

The program is organized as a series of activities that moves scientifically from climate, to climate variability, to climate change. A central goal of this program is to explore the complex interface between science and society that forms the basis of management decisions related to climate change issues. Also, affective learning experiences require that instructional programs and activities be designed based on the students' ideas and understandings. This approach allows instruction to be sequenced in a way that moves students toward scientific conceptualization and facilitates curricular continuity.
