Geology Camp (G-Camp) is a 17-day field camp for 5th - 12th grade
science teachers that gives teachers first-hand experience with the principles
of geology in the field, helps develop new curriculum and virtual fieldtrips
for their classrooms, and makes learning fun and exciting out of doors. This
field experience puts teachers on the outcrop, on the slope of a volcano, on
the footwall of a fault, in a spectacular glacial valley, at the toe of a
landslide, and in a pristine flowing stream - to mention just a few of the
opportunities of G-Camp.
This year, Ms. Alejandra Martinez, who had previously attended a
G-Camp through Texas A&M was selected to attend a
continuation and upper level course this summer.
In the fall Ms. Martinez will be required to attend a workshop as follow up to the summer field camp. This workshop focuses on the integration of inquiry learning with TEKS objectives to bring the excitement of geology in the field to learning in the classroom.
