<p>HISTORY OF WINTER 2012: AN IMMERSIVE CRYOSPHERE SCIENCE TRAINING CAMP</p><p>When: February 12-18, 2012 (tentative) Where: Lake Placid, NY Who: Secondary STEM teachers, STEM pre-service teachers, Higher education faculty in STEM/STEM Education, and Informal Education partners</p><p>The NASA GSFC Education Office invites you to participate in the upcoming 2012 History of Winter (HOW) training. This week of training, held annually in February in Lake Placid, NY, places teachers in the role of scientists, working side-by-side with professional scientists and technologists. Learning by doing, teachers gain a better understanding of scientific inquiry through field research experience as well as a firsthand understanding of the study of snow and ice as indicators of climate change. Central to this week are studies of:  Training in field protocols for snow and ice study  The Global Snowflake Network (GSN) – an interactive online data resource for science and education  Thermochron Mission – unique technology that records temperature data used as a means to encourage inquiry  Effective use of technology to record and share data  Pre and post components for classroom integration of content</p><p>Learn more about the on-site program from these videos: History of Winter Introduction HOW Day One HOW Day Two HOW Day Three NASA eClips Video " Launchpad: History of Winter Program"</p><p>For more information, contact Katherine Bender, Office of Education Programs, NASA GSFC.
