Collect and Use Plant Data in Middle School Science: Living Evidence of a Changing Climate

Open to: Middle School Science Teachers
Opportunity at a Glance: Join the NYC Public Schools Climate Education Leadership Team for a virtual workshop.  Plants respond to climate change in observable, measurable ways and students can collect data that scientists actually use. During this one-hour interactive workshop, teachers will do the following:

  • Explore programs that enable students to track seasonal plant changes;
  • Contribute to large-scale climate research; and
  • Learn how phenological gardens and schoolyard green spaces can serve as living laboratories for studying plant responses to temperature, precipitation, and seasonal shifts.

Key dates:  Tuesday April 21 from 4:30p.m. – 5:30p.m.
