Free lessons help educators teach about global climate change
To help meet the demand for better science instruction in the nation’s schools, PBS TeacherLine has teamed up with NASA to offer a series of free, self-paced professional development modules around the topic of global climate change. These three- to five-hour online modules are intended to increase teachers’ knowledge of the science behind global climate change and give them classroom resources to share with their students.
As of press time, there were four of these modules available to teachers. The first module offers an introduction to global climate change and discusses the evidence of climate change from different parts of the Earth. It also considers what it means to live on a planet with a dynamically changing climate.

This initiative is designed to improve the quality of the nation's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and enhance students' and teachers' literacy about global climate and Earth system change from elementary grades to lifelong learners.
