Hands-on science education

摘要

Whether part of an extended cycle or the result of human activity, global change is occurring. Changes in weather patterns, air and water quality, sea ice and sea level, permafrost--all have ramifications today that are likely to become even more pronounced in the future. How humans handle such change in the future largely depends on how today's children are educated to understand and cope with their environments. Concerns about global change are the foundation for several science education projectsinvolving Elena Bautista Sparrow, Global Change Education Program coordinator at UAF and associate professor in the School of Agriculture and Land Resources Management.
