Fire as Phenomena
Friday November 8, 2024 8:00am - 8:50am EST
Winston 1A
Every Campfire has a master who lights it, keeps it burning, and puts it out. Industrial facilities use boilers to make the things we need, and land managers use fire to protect and rejuvenate the forest. But fire has a dark side of soot, air pollution, and danger. We will look at fire through chemistry, math, and energy using hand-on demonstrations, chemistry and fire.

Creating Professional Development for K-12 educators
Friday November 8, 2024 11:10am - 12:00pm EST
Salem 1C
In this presentation we will talk about an integrated climate change professional development we developed for K-12 educators in our community (Spring 2024). In this session we will talk about the lessons learned and topics covered during this two-day workshop. Additionally, climate change education research indicates many teachers are willing to teach climate change, but are unsure of how it connects to their classroom and where to find high-quality curricular materials

Improved -- & Improving -- Climate Modeling
Friday November 8, 2024 2:40pm - 3:30pm EST
Winston 1A
Appropriate to any audience, this is not-your-usual presentation; recommended read/review ahead, from a not-your-usual blog: (2023) Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Table of Contents https://judithcurry.com/2023/03/11/ “This book is for people that are willing to think and challenge their preconceived notions about climate change.” You’re right: it’s complex. But we’ll nug it down to some basics with plenty of time for questions & discussion. (Handouts, too)

Using Algae Models & Assays to Illuminate the Interplay between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration for Students!
Friday November 8, 2024 2:40pm - 3:30pm EST
Winston 1C
In this session, instructors will use 2D models of photosynthesis and cellular respiration to conduct tracking of carbon molecules and apply this information to a hands-on assay using freshwater algae to indirectly qualify carbon movement. They will then develop protocols that quantifies the qualitative changes witnessed (via carbon dioxide tracking) under a variety of environmental conditions. Collectively, participants will use the sum of their experiences to develop and explain an ecological model of carbon cycling.
