Hunting Invertebrates In The Classroom is especially true of geology and paleontology which are The best activities are thosethat simulate a field chunk of geologic time) can be difficult to teach. http://www.beloit.edu/~SEPM/Fossil_Explorations/Hunting_Invertebrates.html
Extractions: Lawrence, KS 66045 Level: Elementary to junior high Anticipated Learning Outcomes The student will acquire a general knowledge of fossils and paleontology, the study of evidence of life in the past. The student will be able to identify the major invertebrate groups (phyla) commonly found in the fossil record. The student will learn how fossils tell us about the history of the earth. Introduction This activity is designed to provide a general knowledge about evidence of life in the past and paleontology, or more simply, fossils, with an emphasis on the invertebrate phyla which include over 95% of all animal species. A general knowledge of life is all the students need; even many five year olds know what a clam, snail, insect, starfish, or octopus is and where these kinds of animals may live. The activity will introduce the student to the science of paleontology and its intimate relationship to sedimentary geology. The main concept here is that the organism interacted with the rock-forming environment. Information is preserved in the sedimentary rocks and the fossil remains. The information in one is very important in our understanding of the other. The activity also introduces the student to what the professional paleontologist does to earn a living. Background Your state geological survey, local geology society or natural history museum often publish good introductory guides to the local rocks or sell general introductory books for the hobbyist. Ideally, I recommend the instructor take at least one introductory course in geology or read a few introductory books on the the subject. Many universities offer introductory geology courses in the summer. I do believe a general knowledge of biology and a long evening of reading would suffice for the simpler parts of the exercise, especially if you can find a local geologist willing to help.

Green & White: Fall 2000: Paleontology Camps For Kids they do if they go to the paleontology Summer Day The program includes classroom lectures,lab activities and two to the point where I can teach some things at http://www.usask.ca/alumni/alumnisite/publications/green_white/issues/fall2000/9
Extractions: Sitemap Welcome Publisher Information Current Edition Submit Online ... Archives by Lori Wiens A child's life is simple. Every day they get up, grab their Winnie the Pooh lunchboxes and head off to dig up marine invertebrate fossils in the Creataceous Bearpaw Formation, to explore the geological time scale and the evolution of several Mesozoic animal groups. At least, that's what they do if they go to the Paleontology Summer Day Camps for Children. The camps are the brainchild of two U of S graduates, Sean Robson (BSc'95, MSc'00) and Richard McCrea (BSc'94, BEd'95). "There was nothing like this when I was a kid," explains Robson. "I remember I had to be pulled bodily away from the natural sciences museum." Robson says the idea for the camps came from their own personal interest in science and in children. "Richard and I started these camps in 1997 to promote science and earth science in education. All kids love dinosaurs and this was ideal." It also provided a summer job in their field. "This was a way to create our own job. We had no grants or funding and I had to find a way to pay for my education." The first year, the camps were run through the extension division. After that, Robson and McCrea ran them on their own with permission to use resources from the U of S.

Extractions: Montana Digs THE JUDITH RIVER DINOSAUR INSTITUTE This website is supported Dino Russ who is a "remote staff" member assisting the Institute. Currently this is the only dig program you can join that is supported officially (albeit remotely) by Dino Russ. My actual field work is still only in Utah but I do not have openings there currently although that may change so watch this link . So I strongly recommend that you consider joining Nate Murphy, Director of Vertebrate Paleontology, Phillips County Museum (Malta, Montana), and his team for "EXPEDITION - The 75 Million year journey". Each year the Judith River Dinosaur Institute is host to 10 - 15 research associates at one of its major dig sites. Participants come from all walks of life, including families, individuals from the general public, educators, and college students. In addition to research associates, "EXPEDITION"s full and part time staff is made up of visiting and area museum professionals, post and undergraduate paleontology students. The Institute promotes "EXPEDITION" as a "hands on dinosaur experience. Each expedition is for five days and includes (this year) 3 days of exploration, 1 day of dig site instruction and excavation, at an established dinosaur site ( covering all aspects of proper paleontological field technique, familiarization with the terms and theories of modern paleontology, a solid grounding in site research fundamentals, and an introduction to the species of the Judith River Formation

Another off-the-beaten-track workshop is Project LAVA (Learning about Volcanic Activity) , a six-day summer program in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HVNP). Science teachers of kindergarten through grade 12 study volcanic processes and related phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, hot spots, and tsunamis) and observe such model demonstrations as an erupting volcano constructed of crayons and plaster of Paris. At Clio High School in Clio, Michigan, ninth-grade Earth science and physics teacher Bonnie Kot bases an entire volcanoes unit on her workshop experience. First, she teaches her students how to pronounce and write humuhumunukunuku apua'a Teachers also have applied their Project LAVA experiences to other courses. Joyce Stark, an eighth-grade physical science teacher and advisor at Harrison Middle School in Sunnyside, Washington, has drawn on her experiences on Kilauea to develop a unit on the geology of Mars and the moons of Jupiter. Similarly, Heidi Chang, a sixth-grade physics and eighth-grade chemistry teacher at the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, presents different volcanic products as examples of the three phases of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.
