The Burgess Shale Geoscience Foundation will be holding a 5-day (Aug 15-19) professional development workshop for Earth Science teachers in Field, BC. The workshop will consist of a combination of lectures, exercises which can be easily taken into the classroom (and curriculum) and a field trip through the Rockies. Lectures will focus on the physics, chemistry and biology that is entwined with the geological sciences. Three themes of Mountain Building, History of Life and Climate Change will be touched upon. During the workshop, experienced geologists from industry and academia will be on hand to answer any questions. This information filled event is intended to be stimulating and fun. The instructors hope you come out of the workshop with both an understanding and enthusiasm for geology.
