The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

Explore the importance of snow as part of the water cycle and climate change. Prepare a NASA STEM lesson for a snow field trip. What do you need for a winter walk? How cold is the snow? How do we measure snow density? How do you dig a snow pit and collect the data? How much water is in that snow? Learn about snowflakes. Use satellite data to determine the importance of the snow in the southwestern states.
