    Hi all,

    I am sharing this email with the DianneS in EPP, who offer the Education program for schools at the museum.

    I have had a series of conversations about informal education experiences with a current PhD Science Education student at UF, Erin, a student of Rose Pringle. Erin sent me the following message:

    “Hey is there any way you think you could come into my methods course and possibly Bruce and explain what kinds of field trips the museum offers for elementary school? I realized I don’t account for informal experiences. Maybe you could do a classification lesson with them using fossils? I just want them to realize they will have options to give their kids various experiences and cost plus it would be cool for you to show them what you do. Bruce might want to do it. You could bring fossils or anything. I’ll give you as much time as you want, an hour or 90 minutes? “

    Potential dates are Thursday November 8th or 15th

    Time: 4 to 7 pm (we could do 4 to 5:30pm)

    Audience: Pre-service science teachers

    Are any of you interested and available to assist in coming up with an activity, going to the class etc. ? I wont be at the next Paleo-tutorial so wanted to gage interest and availability so I could give her a general response with a date.

    I think this is a great audience to engage with and it would be nice to develop an inquiry based session on Earth systems, if not for this offering, for future offerings.

    Thanks!
