Understanding Climate Change Science

  • Curriculum addresses misconceptions about global climate change
  • Students will analyze NASA data

BSCS is partnering with California State University, Channel Islands, to Support high school teacher and student learning about the carbon cycle and the science of climate. Participating communities and school districts from Ventura County, California, and southern Florida will test the curriculum with the goals of increasing achievement and interest in science for Hispanic students.

The curriculum will enable students to analyze and use NASA data to address commonly held misconceptions about global climate change.

BSCS Science Educator Steve Getty, Co-PI, will be leading the research focused on the level of teacher and student motivation as they implement these materials.
