Title: An Investigation of Student Engagement in a Global Warming Debate
Grades: 6 - 9 Audience: Educator Description: NOTE: This is a large file, 77 mb in size! This article describes an investigation into how using debate as a pedagogical tool for addressing earth system science concepts can promote active student learning, present a realistic and dynamic view of science, and provide a mechanism for integrating the scientific, political and social dimensions of global environmental change. Using global warming as an example of earth system science, the authors consider how participation in debate provides an avenue for engaging students in science.... (View MSP Record)
Title: Global Change Instruction Program
Grades: 6 - 14 Audience: Learner Description: This series is designed by college professors to fill an urgent need for interdisciplinary materials on global change.

On the face of it, polar science is necessarily earth science and thus aligned with the National Science Education Standards Earth and Space Science Content Standard D. But it certainly does not end there. All other content standards align with a study of polar science, including Science and Technology; Life and Physical Sciences; History and Nature of Science; and, perhaps especially, Personal and Social Perspectives. We know you may not have six weeks to spend on a single topic, so we've created sections that can stand alone. These include background information for teachers, visualizing the poles, physical attributes of the poles, biology at the poles, environmental issues and current research projects related to polar science, and of course links to the standards. Pedagogically speaking, students will need support, first, in accurately visualizing the location of the poles relative to the rest of the earth and, second, in distinguishing between the North and South Poles. Resources provided under Visualizing the Poles and Physical Attributes of the Poles are designed to help teachers meet this need. In addition, students need some understanding of climate and weather, biological and ecological systems, and populations and communities. Here are some publications from the National Science Digital Library Middle School Portal that may be of assistance: |
