It’s one thing to learn about the impact of global climate change in general terms, it’s quite another thing to study how climate change will affect your neighborhood, community, and even your home.
That’s what Caleb Rice’s physical science students at Lake Worth Community High School recently learned when the class participated in a pilot program utilizing hyper-local climate change data. The data sets are integrated with geographic information system (GIS) mapping and visualization programs, and were made available through a partnership between AT&T and EcoRise, a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring a new generation of green leaders by working with K-12 students.
