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!

This video, part of NOAA’s Science on a Sphere Data Lens professional learning series, introduces middle and high school educators to strategies for using data visualization activities in the classroom.

In this lesson students analyze mean wind speeds and land surface ‘roughness’ datasets to explore the best locations for wind farms.

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.

This video is a part of the Data Puzzles program and highlights how climate change is impacting wildfires and the time it takes for forests to regenerate.

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 analyze authentic data on carbon-based fats in Arctic animals to determine their reliance on ocean vs. sea ice algae and predict impacts of sea ice decline on Arctic organisms.

In this Data Puzzle, students analyze data to learn that rising temperatures boost moss campion reproduction only up to a tipping point, after which rates sharply decline, raising broader questions about tundra ecosystems and climate tipping points.

Declining water levels in Lake Powell and Lake Mead highlight the Colorado River Basin megadrought, which scientists and students conclude is driven mainly by rising temperatures and increased evapotranspiration, intensified by growing water demand in the southwest.

This recording from the Feb. 21, 2024 Data Puzzle webinar highlights the Snow in the Rockies lesson, where students analyze snowfall and snowmelt data from Colorado’s East River Watershed to consider impacts on downstream Colorado River water users.

This recording captures the Jan. 31, 2024 Data Puzzle webinar focused on the To Reflect Or Not To Reflect lesson in which students analyze Arctic sea ice and albedo datasets to explore the Arctic amplification phenomenon.

This video is part of the Science Show and Share program and highlights how climate change will impact Colorado's future climate and droughts.

This video belongs to the Science Show and Share program and highlights the environmental phenomenon of Atmospheric Rivers.

This webinar, part of a four-part series on life at McMurdo Station Antarctica, focuses on the upper atmosphere but can also be viewed as a stand-alone session.

As part of the Right Here, Right Now pre-summit event recoding, experts discuss how to support women and youth in climate action.

This webinar is part of a 4-part series on life at McMurdo Station, Antarctica. Watch this stand-alone video on seasons in the polar regions or watch all four webinars. 

This webinar, part of a four-part series on life at McMurdo Station in Antarctica, focuses on the upper atmosphere but can also be viewed as a stand-alone session.

In this webinar, we reviewed program specifics for the year and were joined by Dr. Alison Boardman, professor at the CU Boulder School of Education.

Hear from mental health expert Dr. Courtney Welton-Mitchell as she explores how disasters—including COVID-19—impact students’ mental health, and how educators can create supportive spaces for learning about trauma.

This first webinar in the Natural Hazards Resilience Teacher Professional Development Series features Dr. Joseph Kerski demonstrating classroom tools for assessing natural hazard risks and vulnerabilities.

Seth Arens discusses Colorado’s recent natural hazards in this Natural Hazards Resilience webinar.

In this webinar recording, Dr. Rick Saltus, and Dr. Neesha Schnepf presented on their recent research in geomagnetism and talk about their crowd-sourcing app: CrowdMag
