Middle School Science Minute

CLIMATE CHANGE PRACTICES
I was recently reading the February, 2019 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read the article, “Sound Practices in Climate Change Education” written by Peggy M. McNeal and Heather L. Petcovic. In the article, they identified three broad themes that showcase sound practices in climate change education. They include:
1. Connecting students with local climate change impacts.
2. Encouraging students to collect, analyze, and draw conclusions from their own data.
3. Fostering relationships between climate scientists, teachers, and students.
From the Twitterverse:

“I created this site to help more people understand more of what they read.
For ten years, I’ve been teaching English to people who need to work very hard to understand what they read.
My students are interesting, perceptive people who understand (for example) what pollution is, but they don’t understand what chronic, pervasive atmospheric toxicity means.”
I’m a public school teacher, and I pay for this site’s operation out of my own pocket. (Note: it’s not cheap.) Please help me out by using it only for your own personal use or for that of your students.
