▬▬▬▬▬▬ INTRODUCTION ▬▬▬▬▬ Welcome to "Earth Sciences: Geology 4 day Camp PART 2", which focuses on the most dramatic physical forces in Earth Sciences which created the rock formations around us and the fossils in the ground, with the aim of making learning fun and exhilarating. I think making learning enjoyable and bringing science to life is the best way to get kids engaged and learning without realising it.

To discover and learn without realising it, because you are having fun! By the end of this course students will be able to explain what the main rock types are and how they are formed and deformed. We will also be able to understand the carbon cycle and global warming and what made the Dinosaurs go extinct.
I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences.
This class will briefly mentions global warming and the possibility of causing our own extinction. I mix this with a positive message about renewable energy, but it still may cause some more sensative learners to be mildly distressed. We also look at a catastrophic asteroid impact tha made the dinosaurs extinct and caused a mass extinction with some cartoon images of dying dinosaurs. This class uses screen share to show PowerPoint slides with text and pictures. Some classes also show short videos. No other 3rd party tools are used.
