- Abstract
Yet, many science educators continue to teach climate change by sharing mounds of data and peer-reviewed articles which students, especially non-science majors, often find uninteresting and can struggle to comprehend (Siperstein et al. [13]). Unfortunately, science educators still face barriers when teaching about climate change as many of our students perceive that their beliefs are in conflict with science. While students may understand some of the overarching principles of climate change such as the causes and large-scale impacts, they often lack a personal connection to the process and its impacts. If science professors were to collaborate with professors in education departments who are pedagogical experts, workshops for K-12 educators could be planned and implemented that provide both accurate science and age-appropriate ideas for student engagement.
