  COLOR ME EARTH!  

Explore an innovative model to help middle school students make sense of Earth and Environmental Science phenomena through data visualization.

Attendees will participate in a program that uses arts-based approaches to support sense-making and data skills and get access to classroom-ready resources. Attendees will experience a new model for exploring and making sense of geospatial data using arts-based instructional approaches for learning Earth and Environmental Science, learn how this approach supports teachers and students in improving data literacy, and leave with classroom-ready resources. Presenters will include research scientists and educators who participated in this ground-breaking, 3-year NSF-funded nationwide research project. Attendees will be shown how to access a free teacher-friendly toolbox to implement data visualization activities in their classrooms. Though focused on middle school students, the techniques are applicable across all grade levels.
