Are floods, droughts, and extreme weather our new normal? How is climate change affecting our local communities? What are the local learning opportunities for students around how climate impacts them?

Join Washington Green Schools and Dr. Heidi Roop from the UW Climate Science Group to explore current research to make connections between Climate Change and floods & droughts.. As the day progresses, teachers will have time to plan activities that will bring the day’s climate science learning into their classroom.
