Upcoming events:
We will be offering two of our workshops at the NCSTA Fall2024 Professional Development Institute. Participants will receive a classroom tote of materials including physical samples and ideas for lesson plans. Formal and informal educators welcome.
- Rockin' NC- This workshop focuses on geological resources found in North Carolina and aligns with 4th grade NC Science standards. Materials are appropriate for 4th-6th grade level.
- Deep Time- This workshop is geared towards 8th grade NC Science standards around fossils and geologic time. High School earth and environmental science teachers might also find the fossil samples and ideas useful.
