On Thursday, 15 November 2007, from 9:00am - 4:00pm, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's (SIO's) Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP), the Birch Aquarium at Scripps (BAS), San Diego State University (SDSU), the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), Pasadena CA Field Office of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA/JPL) will hold its fifth annual Earthquake Education Workshop at Scripps Institution of Oceanography's Visualization Center. You can find the agenda to the 2007 workshop here. 2007 workshop photos can be found here. This workshop will explore the science of earthquakes and apply these concepts to a wide range of activities (both hands-on and technology driven). Topics will be geared toward California Earth Science Content Standards for 6th Grade, yet all educators are welcome to attend. The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), will generously provide curriculum materials, posters, books and many of the supplies for the workshop. Discussion leaders include Debi Kilb (IGPP), Bridget Konter (NASA/JPL), Cheryl Peach (BAS) and Robert Mellors (SDSU). Workshop participants and discussion leaders will examine how the activities can be best implemented with middle school age students. Collectively the group will consider content standards, what is known about learning and the day-to-day challenges of teaching science. The group will share model practices and have ample opportunity to network. This day-long workshop will present educators with Earth science teaching materials designed for educational environments.
