VCES: Challenging Climate Change
Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series: Challenging Climate Change has been designed for Years 5-6 high-ability students. Ice-Core Scientist Chelsea Long (Australian Antarctic Division) has worked in conjunction with members of the Ecolinc team to develop this exciting hands-on workshop. The workshop follows an opening Q&A session live from New York’s Liberty Science Centre. What climate secrets do ice cores hold from Earth’s past? How can we interpret data to understand climate change? Students will engage with their own ice-core model in this workshop! Students will take a 15-minute break between the workshop and the opening session. (Image: Chelsea Long)
IMPORTANT PREPARATION DETAILS:
- For this workshop, teachers will be posted the necessary STEM-in-a-box materials to create frozen ice-core models, one for each group of 4 students. (This is a very easy process.)
- Students will also have one homework task to complete and bring to the session.
There are limited numbers of tickets available. Only ONE ticket of up to 25 high ability students per school for each event.
NOTE: Rural and regional students will be a priority in the event of large booking demand.
