Fossils of the Alabama Black Belt – A Hands-On Teacher Workshop
October 18, 2016 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
$25
This hands-on ‘Fossils of the Black Belt’ teacher workshop is a fun way to get CEU credits! It will be held Tuesday, October 18, 2016; the workshop will run from 8:30 am until 4:30 pm.
The workshop will familiarize participants with the study of fossils and field geology, give them information about sites that can be visited by their classes, and provide material for use back in the classroom. This workshop is co-sponsored by the Geological Survey of Alabama education committee, The University of West Alabama, Discovering Alabama, The Black Belt Museum, and the Alabama Geological Society, with volunteer support from members of the Birmingham Paleontological Society.
The workshop is intended for anyone who teaches Earth science in Alabama (or the South in general) or who expects to do so in the future. It is primarily aimed at K-12 teachers with little or no geology training. The cost of the workshop this year is $25.
For more information on this workshop and to get driving directions, contact Dr. David C. Kopaska-Merkel, phone: 205-247-3695 or email: [email protected].
