Space Science for databot Educators
Ready to blast off into hands-on space science? This virtual workshop recording is a must-watch for space science educators and general science teachers using databot in the classroom. Designed specifically for educators already equipped with a databot, the workshop features five NGSS-aligned investigations that bring abstract science concepts to life through real-time sensor data. Explore the invisible weight of air, the density of gases like carbon dioxide, and the chilling truth behind the Cave of Dogs. You’ll even simulate the greenhouse effect—basic and advanced—modeling how rising CO₂ levels can trap heat, just like on Venus. Whether you’re introducing air pressure, gas properties, or climate change, this workshop is packed with classroom-ready activities that make science visual, measurable, and unforgettable.
Research consistently shows that students gain deeper understanding when they receive instant feedback from sensors. These tools empower learners to experience the invisible world of data—revealing pressure, temperature, light, and gas levels as they change in real time. For educators teaching climate science, planetary systems, or physical science, sensors bridge the gap between textbook concepts and real-world phenomena. This is not just hands-on learning—it’s minds-on, helping students become scientists as they collect evidence, analyze patterns, and build explanations. If you’re looking for a dynamic, NGSS-aligned approach to teaching core science topics, this databot-powered workshop is your launchpad.
