Auburn University


The aim of the proposal Bringing Global Climate Change Education to Alabama Classrooms is to produce learning modules in the varying science focus areas of global climate change and to partner with the existing Alabama Science in Motion program (ASIM) to effectively train teachers and educate students in grades 9-12.The objective of Bringing Global Climate Change Education to Alabama Classrooms is for Auburn University faculty members to develop interactive education modules designed to engage high school students on the changes in the Earth's climate and its effect on weather, carbon cycle and ecosystems, water and energy cycle, climate variability change, earth surface interior, and atmospheric composition. ASIM will host professional development workshops using the modules and will provide the hands-on laboratory experience for the students during the school year.
