Smithsonian Education Online Conference on Climate Change

You might be interested in the free Smithsonian Education Online Conference on Climate Change, which will be of great interest to teachers and students in your state. On September 29, 30 and October 1, Smithsonian experts will explore climate from the point of view of various science disciplines, as well as the disciplines of history, art, and culture. Each of the live sessions will focus on a different researcher and his or her work, with opportunities for the audience to interact by asking their own questions or responding to ones posed by Smithsonian staff. Some sessions will feature student volunteer projects and inventions that are having a positive impact on our environment. Also included will be demonstrations of pre, during and post activities that were developed with help from Teachers of the Year in Colorado, Hawaii, Missouri and Michigan. The conference will not address policy issues, and all conference sessions will be archived for later viewing.
You can learn more about the conference and register for it at SmithsonianEducation.org/Climate.
