They focused on the "Global Warming" exhibits and learned about the causes and scientific evidence of climate change over the last 300,000 years as well as the uncertainty associated with the evidence.
Students were excited to use state-of-the art technology to understand the greenhouse effect and the impacts of global warming, such as sea level rise, coastal erosion, change in habitats, and increased air pollution. Finally, the students engaged in thoughtful discussions and tried to answer the question: "What evidence can be used to make decisions related to climate change?"
