Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K-12 classrooms.\u003cbr\u003e This interdisciplinary, three-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students investigate aspects of climate change that have been driven by the rise in global temperatures over the past century. Working in teams, students will use an engineering design process to identify a local environmental problem, develop a model to help monitor and minimize its impact, and create a presentation about their findings. To support this goal, students will do the following: \u003cbr\u003e - Explore differences between weather and climate and explore temperature as an indicator of global warming.\u003cbr\u003e - Examine the role that greenhouse gases play in global temperature warming.\u003cbr\u003e - Explain the causes and effects of climate change and how humans have influenced it.\u003cbr\u003e - Use mathematical modeling and numerical data to explore climate change's impact.\u003cbr\u003e - Analyze and synthesize credible resources to form scientific arguments regarding climate change.\u003cbr\u003e  - Develop a deeper understanding of how climate change influences the economy, our society, and people everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e The \u003ci\u003eSTEM Road Map Curriculum Series\u003c\/i\u003e is anchored in the \u003ci\u003eNext Generation Science Standards\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eCommon Core State Standards\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, \u003ci\u003eHuman Impacts on Our Climate\u003c\/i\u003e can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Carla C. Johnson is the associate dean for research, engagement, and global partnerships and a professor of science education at Purdue University's College of Education in West Lafayette, Indiana. Dr. Johnson serves as the director of research and evaluation for the Department of Defense-funded Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP), a global portfolio of STEM education programs, competitions, and apprenticeships. She has been a leader in STEM education for the past decade, serving as the director of STEM Centers, editor of the School Science and Mathematics journal, and lead researcher for the evaluation of Tennessee's Race to the Top-funded STEM portfolio. Dr. Johnson has published over 100 articles, books, book chapters, and curriculum books focused on STEM education. She is a former science and social studies teacher and was the recipient of the 2013 Outstanding Science Teacher Educator of the Year award from the Association for Science Teacher Education (ASTE), the 2012 Award for Excellence in Integrating Science and Mathematics from the School Science and Mathematics Association (SSMA), the 2014 award for best paper on Implications of Research for Educational Practice from ASTE, and the 2006 Outstanding Early Career Scholar Award from SSMA.
