On January 5, 2023 sixteen teachers (ranging from Kindergarten through High School) attended a full day Teachers as Scholars workshop on climate change. This event was developed and implemented by Professor Daniel Sigman and Lab Manager Danielle Schmitt; it was offered through Princeton’s Program in Teacher Preparation.

Through a combination of hands on investigations, lectures, and group discussions the participants learned about the fundamentals of what sets climate, how we know what climate was like in the past, causes and impacts of and projections for present global warming, as well as differences between the change in climate we are presently experiencing and ones Earth experienced in the past.
