Cool Schools: Investigating Heat Islands

Thursday July 30, 2026 2:15pm - 3:15pm MDT

In this hands-on, outdoor workshop, participants will investigate heat islands, map temperature data, and draw conclusions about how urban green spaces impact community health. Participants will have time to adapt the investigation to their own school setting, outdoor space, and community context. They will receive the lesson plan + a copy of Project Learning Tree’s “Forest in the City” activity to continue exploring the benefits of urban trees.

Air quality - while part of our session requires us to be outside, we will limit our time as much as possible (about 15 minutes).
