Description: The California Department of Water Resources, Morro Bay National Estuary Program, Morro Bay State Park and California Project WET 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 and the Morro Bay region.
Understanding climate change and its link to drought, water quality, sea level rise and more is crucial for all Californians. In this special climate focused workshop, you will be engaged in activities you can use with your students to help them understand the impacts of climate change on water and steps they can take to adapt to our changing environment.
Participants hear current information on climate science and how a changing climate is affecting California water resources, the role of science in driving new strategies to safeguard California water supplies – and how the activities of Project WET can help you integrate climate science knowledge, concepts and skills into your curriculum.
For a $20 registration fee, participants will receive:
- Great information on current climate science.
- Learn about local climate change impacts and citizen science opportunities.
- An opportunity to interact directly with DWR Climate staff.
- A copy of Project WET Guide 2.0 & experience with WET activities.
