GEOL 6410 Geoscience for Teachers
This course is specifically designed to provide a broad intensive overview of the GMO (geology, meteorology and oceanography) subject areas for practicing teachers. It consists of a series of class and laboratory-based modules that will enable teachers to effectively implement GMO sections into their existing curriculum. This course follows an inquiry-based approach based on understanding and using the scientific method, data collection and analysis as appropriate for each of the three modules. Meteorology introduces the teachers to atmosphere, weather and climate systems; oceanography covers global oceans, coastal systems and the effects of human impact; while the geology module provides overviews of the history of geology, basic rocks and minerals, fossils, geomorphology, plate tectonics and geologic hazards such as earthquakes and volcanoes.
