SUMMARY:Decarbonize New York City with the game of Energetic! (HS+)
DESCRIPTION:See the scope of change and cooperation needed to transform the city’s energy demand & supply in time to meet goals for the Paris Agreement.\n\n\nLeaders: Richard Reiss\, Rachel Wax\, Matthew Sarker \nDate/Time: February 11\, 10am-1pm\, In-person at Trinity School \nDescription: \nWe designed a board game about the future of New York City! Energetic is a cooperative team challenge in which you work to decarbonize New York City by building 16 GW of carbon neutral power by 2035. Each player is given the chance to see the scope of change and cooperation needed to transform the city’s energy demand and supply in time to meet goals for the Paris Agreement. Energetic is used as part of climate courses at Carnegie Mellon\, Vanderbilt\, Bronx Science\, and Hunter College HS\, as well as at other universities and high schools. At this workshop we will hear from teachers that use the game\, and then we will try it ourselves! Can we keep the lights on in NYC in 2035? \nMatt S. – I used the game in my physics class as a potential end project for students to engage with. The physics ideas of gigawatts and the attributes of energy sources were embedded in the context of decision making. The game itself is essentially a model\, and NGSS connections to the science practices standards related to the crosscutting concept of science and society are well aligned with the game. \nNGSS Science and Engineering Practices: \n\nDevelop and/or use a model (including mathematical and computational) to generate data to support explanations\, predict phenomena\, analyze systems\, and/or solve problems.\n\nNew York State: \n\nScience and Engineering Practices: HS-PS1-1: Use a model to predict the relationships between systems or between components of a system.\nEngineering Design: HS-ETS1-1: Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.”\n\nGame sets will be available for play and to learn during the workshop. Additional sets will be available for purchase at a discount the day of the workshop. \nVisit Energetic to find out more and order your own set. \n \nCost:  FREE. The first eight teacher-participants to sign up will receive FREE admission and one unit of the Energetic board game (valued at $80)! Free to all other attendees. Participants receiving board games will be asked to provide feedback in addition to our exit ticket\, at the end of the workshop.

SUMMARY:How Our Food Moves Water Around the Planet (MS/HS)
DESCRIPTION:Learn about water use\, scarcity and drought\, in order to understand water the impacts on our local and global communities.\n\n\nLeaders: Robin Madel\, Kai Olson-Sawyer \nDates: January 28\, 2023 (1:00-4:00pm EDT\, via Zoom) \nTickets: The first ten teacher-participants to sign up will receive a stipend of $50 for this two hour workshop! Free to all other attendees. Our ClimateSTEM Series is supported by ConEd. \nAbout the Workshop \nThis workshop educates teacher-participants about direct and virtual water use as well as water scarcity and drought\, in order to prepare to help students understand their own water use and the impacts it has on their local and global community. Our materials use the framework of water footprints\, which include the water it takes to make the foods we eat\, the things we buy and the services we use\, in addition to our direct water use from a tap. \nWe will share the tools\, lesson plans and informational resources from our website – watercalculator.org – about how we use water and how that use impacts the planet. It is critical for students (and others) to understand their own impacts before they face a water crisis\, and which can make understanding any necessary cuts in order to meet water conservation goals a much lighter lift. This is applicable in NYS and beyond\, because no place is immune to drought\, even a water-rich place like New York\, which is currently experiencing varying levels of drought. \n \nCost: The first ten teacher-participants to sign up will receive a stipend of $50 for this two hour workshop! Free to all other attendees. Participants receiving stipends will be asked to provide feedback in addition to our exit ticket\, at the end of the workshop.

SUMMARY:Climate Models & Data Part 1 - Visualizing Climate Projections (HS)
DESCRIPTION:Help students build a better understanding of the connection between possible climate scenarios and global climate model outputs. \n\n\n\nLeaders: Eric Walters \n\n\n\nAs defined by NOAA\, a global climate model is a “complex mathematical representation of the major climate system components and their interactions.” Students often believe that climate change will impact all global locations equally. How do we help students build a better understanding of the connection between possible climate scenarios\, global climate model outputs\, and associated climate projections. In this workshop\, participants will explore the NOAA Climate Explorer and the US Climate Resilience Toolkit and will leave with a ready-made unit that helps students tell the story of climate change with data.

SUMMARY:Earth's Energy Budget Using My NASA Data Lessons (HS)
DESCRIPTION:Understand strengths and limitations of the conceptual model used to describe the complex energy transfer in the Earth systems. \n\n\n\nLeaders: Nathalie Macke \n\n\n\nClimateSTEM Series\, Focus on “Systems Thinking” . \n\n\n\nA new suite of My NASA Data lessons that address Earth’s energy budget have been developed by teacher interns for NASA this past summer. Participants will engage as model students in select lessons that have been developed to help understand the strengths and limitations of the conceptual model used to describe the complex energy transfer in the Earth system. After being provided time to briefly investigate and evaluate the lessons\, participants will consider how to best connect their students and communities with this complex topic\, and spend time developing a learning progression for their classroom’s specific educational objectives. Additional NASA products and tools will be introduced (as time allows) that may assist participants when identifying resources required to allow for students to connect phenomena to a complex model.

SUMMARY:How Our Food Moves Water Around the Planet (MS/HS)
DESCRIPTION:Learn about water use\, scarcity and drought\, in order to understand water the impacts on our local and global communities. \n\n\n\nLeaders: Robin Madel\, Kai Olson-Sawyer \n\n\n\nThis workshop educates teacher-participants about direct and virtual water use as well as water scarcity and drought\, in order to prepare to help students understand their own water use and the impacts it has on their local and global community. Our materials use the framework of water footprints\, which include the water it takes to make the foods we eat\, the things we buy and the services we use\, in addition to our direct water use from a tap. \n\n\n\nWe will share the tools\, lesson plans and informational resources from our website – watercalculator.org – about how we use water and how that use impacts the planet. It is critical for students (and others) to understand their own impacts before they face a water crisis\, and which can make understanding any necessary cuts in order to meet water conservation goals a much lighter lift. This is applicable in NYS and beyond\, because no place is immune to drought\, even a water-rich place like New York\, which is currently experiencing varying levels of drought.

SUMMARY:Climate Physics Modeling (HS)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a modeling-friendly workshop on a physics energy unit that is framed around climate change. \n\n\n\nLeaders: Elissa Levy \n\n\n\nJoin us for a modeling-friendly physics energy unit that is framed around climate change. We’ll apply energy bar charts to climate-related energy transfer and will explore the relationship between colloquial energy resources and canonical energy forms. After modeling global warming\, we’ll read and critique Eunice Foote’s original 1856 paper on carbon dioxide and heat. These activities have been done in 9th grade physics and can be adapted for any middle or high school classroom.

SUMMARY:Visualizing Student Thinking with SageModeler (ES/MS)
DESCRIPTION:Diagramming and creating models are skills that allow students of all ages to illustrate their thinking and share their thinking! \n\n\n\nLeaders: Kimesha Reid-Grant and Juliette Guarino Berg \n\n\n\nClimateSTEM Series\, Focus on “Systems Thinking” . \n\n\n\nDiagramming and creating models are skills that allow students of all ages to illustrate their thinking and share their thought processes with others. In this workshop\, participants will be introduced to the diagramming and systems modeling tool SageModeler\, a “free\, web-based\, and open-source software to engage students in systems thinking through designing\, building\, and revising models.” Workshop participants will have the opportunity to explore relevant phenomena such as energy flow in ecosystems and factors contributing to the health of a body of water in “student mode\,” beginning with basic diagramming skills and working towards creating a static equilibrium model. Participants will also spend time in “teacher mode” considering ways to use SageModeler within their current scope and sequence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThree-Dimensional Next Generation Science Standards Addressed: \n\n\n\nPerformance Expectations \n\n\n\n\n\n5-PS3-1. Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair\, growth\, motion\, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.\n\n\n\n\n\n5-LS2-1. Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants\, animals\, decomposers\, and the environment.\n\n\n\n\n\nMS-ESS3-3. Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment.\n\n\n\n\n\nMS-ESS3-4. Construct an argument supported by evidence for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth’s systems.\n\n\n\n\n\nScience and Engineering Practices \n\n\n\n\nDeveloping and Using Models\n\n\n\n\nCrosscutting Concepts: \n\n\n\n\nCause and Effect\n\n\n\nPatterns\n\n\n\nStability and Change\n\n\n\nSystems and System Models\n\n\n\n\nMaterials needed: Laptops\, charge cord\, notebook\, pencil\, cutouts for ecosystems. \n\n\n\nCost:  $25 (Limited # of tickets!) \n\n\n\nSTEMteachersNYC delivers professional development workshops for teachers\, by teachers\, about teaching\, since 2011. All workshops over 2hrs offer CTLE. CUNY Pre-service teachers may attend for free; Brooklyn College Pre-service teachers receive Field Site hours. Please reach out if your school requires an invoice.

SUMMARY:A Bird Walk in Central Park: Come enjoy the fall migration!
DESCRIPTION:During the Fall Migration\, a huge variety of birds stop in Central Park to rest and refuel for their journey South! \n\n\n\nLeaders: Peter Davenport and Fernand Brunschwig \n\n\n\nFormat and Dates: One 3.5 Hour Session\, 10/8/2022 (7:30-11:30am EDT – raindate Sunday Oct 9) \n\n\n\nGroup Meets at 103rd Street & Central Park West \n\n\n\nDescription: Central Park is an urban oasis for birds as well as people. During the fall\, a variety of birds stop in Central Park to rest and refuel during their migration south\, while others make it their temporary home. Join us for a walk through the north end of the park to learn about some of the “snow birds” and winter residents—sparrows\, finches\, sapsuckers\, waterfowl\, blackbirds\, raptors—and search for late migrants and rarities such as warblers\, flycatchers\, shorebirds\, owls and more. Learn how to identify the birds and find out about their behavior. Bring walking footwear and binoculars and/or a camera with a good telephoto lens. Don’t be late—We will start walking at 7:45 am sharp. \n\n\n\nIncludes slides and other classroom-friendly resources!
