Understanding Climate Change in California

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY EDUCATORS! 

The California Department of Water Resources and Project WET program invite educators who work with students in 3rd through 12th Grades for a workshop learning about the science of climate change and the connection to California's water resources.

This workshop will be an interdisciplinary exploration of climate science, how water managers are applying the science to conserve California’s water resources and develop climate resilient communities – and how the interdisciplinary activities of Project WET can help you engage your students in the study of climate science in your class or education program!

Project WET activities are designed to engage students in the study of water through the use of models, interactive simulations, and reality-based scenarios. Interdisciplinary Project WET activities supplement existing curriculum, are correlated to Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, and provide strong foundations for STEAM, Project-Based, and Service- Learning programs.

For a $20 registration fee, participants attending this training will receive great information on current climate science, how the science is being applied to increase the resiliency of California water systems, an opportunity to interact with DWR Climate Team staff, a copy of Project WET Guide 2.0, breakfast and lunch; an opportunity to receive 0.8 CEU credit - and a $50 stipend + return of your registration fee following completion of the workshop!
