Innovations in data collection, infrastructure, and visualization play an important role in modern society. Large, complex datasets are accessible to and shared widely with the public. Students need to learn how to interpret and reason about visualizations of scientific data in order to keep up with the marketplace and to make crucial decisions, not to mention, in order to do well on standardized tests. During this hour teachers will participate as students in a full (10-20 min) Data Lens activity. Hilary Peddicord, the Science on a Sphere (SOS) Education Lead, will also go into the research behind this data literacy approach and how to successfully implement it in order to see results.

WHO: 5th - 12th+ grade teachers

WHAT: FREE virtual teacher workshop focused on the Data Lens: Exploring Earth’s Visual Stories from NOAA’s Science On a Sphere. Participants will leave prepared to implement the 10-20 minute lessons and receive them in their inboxes regularly.
