Lesson 1 - introduction
This first PowerPoint presentation aims to introduce the pupils to the term “environmental data scientist” and what tasks they might do. The presentation is short and responsive, to get the pupils interested. There are opportunities for the pupils to add to the presentation, if a smartboard is available. Also, there is a presenter script in the comments section under each slide, so the teacher can talk the pupils through the presentation. Alternatively, watch the YouTube video below as an introduction (COMING SOON).
