Abstract: We brought together high school science teachers, paleoclimate scientists, and museum educators/researchers as a museum-based scientist/teacher inquiry group (or mSTIG) to merge a one-day teacher professional development opportunity at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History with curriculum design ideation to create formal lessons utilizing cutting-edge climate change science. Here we report the first of three benefits. We suggest our mSTIG model can be a powerful way to integrate leading scientific thought into formal curriculum and that natural history museums are compelling places for this type of synergy.
