Join Hilary Peddicord as she explores an innovative model to help middle school students make sense of Earth and Environmental Science phenomena through data visualization! Attendees will participate in a program that uses arts-based approaches to support sensemaking and data skills and get access to classroom-ready resources.

This recording captures the Nov. 18, 2024 Learn & Connect workshop. In this workshop, Dr. Katie Spellman and Dr. Elena Sparrow talk about scenario storytelling, an innovative model for citizen/community science developed as part of the Winterberry project. This model turns data into stories and pathways to action, engaging youth and the broader community.

This recording captures the Nov. 13, 2024 Data Puzzle webinar focused on the Wind Farms of the Future lesson in which students analyze mean wind speeds and land surface ‘roughness’ datasets to explore the best locations for wind farms.

Arctic research is shifting to center Indigenous knowledge and co-production with communities and Tribes. This energy toward Arctic climate research and Indigenous priorities is both needed and taxing for Tribal communities in Alaska. Dr. Adelheid Herrmann has developed a guide to help researchers, academics, federal and state agencies working in rural Alaska understand the current landscape and complexities of Tribal communities. In this webinar, Dr. Herrmann shares her report and graphics to help people visualize the overwhelming number of external and internal forces that Tribes and Tribal…

This video can be used a stand along video to learn more about fire ecology, or as part of the wildfire Data Puzzles lessons.

This recording captures the Oct. 2, 2024 Data Puzzle webinar focused on the Not All Warming is Equal lesson in which students analyze global temperature and carbon dioxide datasets to explore the inequities of climate change.

In honor of the April 8th, 2024 total solar eclipse event, the NOAA Science On a Sphere program has developed datasets showing cloud cover potential, eclipse paths, and a narrated movie describing the total eclipse phenomenon.

Declining water levels in two of the largest reservoirs in the United States, Lake Powell and Lake Mead, provide visible evidence for the ongoing megadrought (a period of extreme dryness that lasts for decades) in the Colorado River Basin. Scientists studying weather and climate in this region are analyzing temperature and precipitation patterns over time to determine the root cause of the ongoing megadrought.

In this Data Puzzle, students will engage with an interactive reading before analyzing authentic datasets to discover how and why the number of megafires has changed over time.

In this Data Puzzle, students engage with an interactive reading before analyzing and interpreting authentic datasets to discover that rising temperatures increase the reproductive success of moss campion up to a certain point, the tipping point, beyond which the plant's reproductive rates dramatically decline! The results of this study inspire many other interesting questions, What does this mean for the rest of the tundra ecosystem? And what other climate "tipping points" should we be aware of?

This recording captures the Feb. 21, 2024 Data Puzzle webinar focused on the Snow in the Rockies lesson in which students analyze snowfall and timing of snowmelt datasets from Colorado's East River Watershed and reflect on how changing snow conditions in Rocky Mountain watersheds like the East River Watershed might impact downstream water users (e.g., Colorado River water users).

In this workshop, Infiniscope will covers why place-based educational tools are so important for an audience as well as demonstrate examples of virtual tours from a community-based project in Hawaii and Polar Explorer. Participants have the chance to use the "Tour it" tool to create their own tours.

Dr. Katie Spellman and Dr. Elena Sparrow, hosted this engaging webinar, where participants had the chance to practice how to facilitate community storytelling through hands-on activities. Lesson plans and techniques were shared to help build participants' engagement and outreach toolbox.

In this filmmaking workshop lead by producer, script writer, videographer, and editor Dr. Ryan Vachon (Provare Media) attendees learned about crafting project mission statements, storyboards, camera and audio gear, and basic editing techniques.

Discover the intricate web of climate, drought, and climate change in the Southwestern US in this engaging 25-minute talk and 20-minute LIVE Q&A. Our seasoned climatologist, Russ Schumacher, will explore Colorado's climate, the significance of mountain snowpack, and the path of water to rivers. Uncover key climate metrics like temperature and precipitation and their impact on water resources. Explore the diverse nature of drought, its definitions, and its evolving face under the influence of climate change.

In this installment of the NNA-CO science storytelling series, filmmaker and photographer Lianna Nixon guides us through the 5 aspects of building a story, different engagement techniques, and the importance of co-production and counter-narrative when crafting a narative about your science.

In coordination with StoryCenter, the NNA-CO offered Part 1 of a Storytelling Workshop Series that provided an introduction to storytelling and utilizing story as a method for sharing and communicating science. This webinar focused an introduction to storytelling and ethics of storytelling.
