Earth Science Road Tour

The Earth Science Road Tour is a fantastic opportunity to cover 2 units of science in 2 days!

As a certified Earth Science teacher, Ms. Seretan is setting up a 2-day Earth Science road tour. This would be an opportunity to drive around Oregon, studying, first-hand, geologic formations. There are some wonderful examples of volcanic, glacial, coastal and catastrophic features in our beautiful state. We always think it is better to see science in person than see it in a book or on a computer screen.

This trip replaces units 2 and 4 in Earth Science or units 4 and 5 in Science 800.

The trips are scheduled for November 2 and December 7. They will be all-day trips.

The cost of both field trips (Yes, they need to be at both or neither), is $15. If this is a hardship, please let me know. We will likely have room for family or friends that want to join you. They will need to pay as well. So, we need to know how many people would like to come with you.

Students attending the field trips need to be at the 3rd floor Edchoices offices by 9:00 on Monday, November 2nd. Buses will leave by after our intro workshop.

Wear outdoor clothing and boots; layer of course, as we are in Oregon. And bring a notebook and pencil to record data as well as lunch and a something to drink. There is likely no food facilities where we will be stopping. We may stop for a treat at the end.

Please email Jennifer Seretan at jseretan@allprep.us so she can send you preparation information.
