Science Activity at Climatology: Melting Glacier

Abstract

The biggest weakness of gifted students’ education is the lack of creative activity. Such activities contribute to the development of gifted students’ many skills. In this study, it has been provided to be faced with gifted students on a matter that requires holistic perspective. Students discussed together on global climate change with the help of inference and generalizations due to the activity of glaciers melt. Thanks to the science activity, students could explain the glaciers melting phenomenon from different perspective. Moreover, the development of students’ ability to conduct idea (predicting) against the new situations that may occur has been provided. It is recommended that this activity should be used for educating gifted young scientists.
