GLOBE Carbon Cycle Workshop
Opportunities for middle and high school teachers to learn about and
incorporate carbon cycle research into the classroom.
Dates: August 15-17, 2011
University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH
Registration: $50
Provided: Breakfast, Lunch & 1 Dinner, Lodging if travelling greater
than 1 hour
Take Home: Carbon Cycle Classroom Materials, Field Measurement Tools
The GLOBE Carbon Cycle project is focused on bringing cutting edge
research and research techniques in the field of terrestrial
ecosystem carbon cycling into the classroom. Students collect data
about their school field site to determine carbon storage and
participate in classroom activities to understand carbon cycling.
These activities include plant-a-plant experiments, How do scientists
measure trees?, an introduction to modeling, and analysis of
collected data. In addition, students have the opportunity to
integrate their data with emerging and expanding technologies,
including global and local carbon cycle computer models and online
map resources. This program design allows students to explore
research questions from local to global scales under both present and
future environmental conditions.
Materials have been developed by teams of scientists and science
educators at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and Charles
University in Prague, Czech Republic. Activities have been locally
tested by middle and high school teachers and students.
Each day the workshop will run from 8:30-4:30.
Day 1: An introduction to systems thinking and the global carbon
cycle.
Day 2: Learn the in class and field activities that will allow
students to make carbon storage assessments of the schoolyard.
Day 3: Use computer modeling to understand how carbon storage
changes over space and time.
