We are offering free graduate or CEU (1 CEU = 10 CDE) credit through University of Colorado, free lunch and morning snacks, as well as a chance to learn how to utilize a fantastic tool for viewing real data and to create your own lesson for making it relevant to your classroom objectives.

Science On a Sphere® (SOS) is a giant animated globe used by NOAA as an educational tool to help illustrate Earth System science to people of all ages. Animated images of atmospheric storms, climate change, and ocean temperature can be shown on the sphere, which is used to explain what are sometimes complex environmental processes, in a way that is simultaneously intuitive and captivating.

To equip you to use Science On a Sphere to explain the natural world around you and the science that affects your daily life, providing examples as well as time and support for creating your own lesson or SOS demonstration.
