Cool Science has launched its second annual Art Competition about Climate Change, which is free and open to K-12 students across Massachusetts.  Cool Science aims to combine art, education, and science to engage the public in thinking about the science of climate change.  Winning artists will receive a $100 gift certificate and have their artwork displayed on the inside and outside of public buses in 2014.  This year’s contest focuses on three questions:

• How does Carbon cycle through the atmosphere?
• What do scientists see that tells them that the earth’s climate is changing?
• How is climate change impacting Massachusetts?

Submissions are due November 22.  Contest rules and resources are available at www.coolscience.net.  Cool Science is sponsored by UMass Lowell’s Graduate School of Education and UMass Boston’s Department of Environment, Earth, and Ocean Sciences.
