Climate Change, Carbon Hoofprints, and Bananas in Our Breadbasket?
This session will model how to engage students in the science of climate change using the carbon cycle and agriculture (food) as a context for studying the causes, implications, and possible solutions for feeding a growing population in a changing climate. Will “Meatless Mondays” reduce our carbon footprint? Should we plan on growing bananas instead of wheat in America’s breadbasket? Explore how climate change can foster critical thinking and address an authentic world problem.
