The Lunar and Planetary Institute invites you to participate in:

 

*The Heat from Within*

*Earthly Insights into Planetary Volcanism*

/ /

*A NASA-sponsored field-based workshop, 12-19 July 2009*

*for intermediate grade level science teachers (other educators are 
invited)*

 

Spend the week with planetary scientists investigating different types 
of volcanos in the Bend and Crater Lake regions of Oregon. Contrast 
these Earth-based analogs with volcanic features on Mars, the Moon, 
Venus, and even the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune! From these 
field experiences and classroom exercises, participants will build an 
understanding of the planetary processes that produce volcanos, and the 
patterns of volcanism on planets in our solar system.

 

The experience will be divided between the field and lab, where 
participants work with classroom-tested, hands-on inquiry based 
activities and resources that can be used to enhance Earth and space 
science teaching in the classroom.  Participants receive lesson plans, 
supporting resources, and presentations.  A limited number of grants are 
available to cover registration.

 

Join us for hands-on, real-world experience to enhance your teaching 
about Earth and space science --- and to make connections between these 
exciting fields of research!
