Exploring Uncertainty Through Models & Narratives
Two University of Wyoming researchers, atmospheric scientist Dr. Stefan Rahimi and social scientist Dr. Anderson de Figueiredo, collaborated to show how biophysical and social scientists explore and communicate uncertainty. Stefan guided participants through a WY-Adapt dashboard to compare observed weather station data with climate model projections, illustrating uncertainty from model bias and variability. Anderson introduced scenario narratives to show how uncertainty can be translated into pl

Uncertainty in Science
When the Data Doesn't Match
This lesson engages students in comparing observed weather station data with modeled climate data using WY-Adapt. Through this exploration, students encounter two key types of scientific uncertainty: observational uncertainty (limitations in how and what we measure) and climate model uncertainty (limitations in the models used to explain or predict phenomena). The Moment of Uncertainty framework created by the Investigations Project guides the lesson, helping teachers surface uncertainty, suppor

Juana Hicks Rodriguez created short "Get to Know the Research" videos to introduce K-12 students to real-world scientific research and data interpretation. Each video features a Wyoming scientist explaining their work in accessible language, showing students how data is collected, analyzed, and applied to answer a research question. The videos bridge classroom learning and current research, helping students see data as a tool for decision-making. One video is shared here, exploring aquatic ecolo
