Class experience
Welcome to my 4 Day Summer Boot Camp about the amazing Earth Science of North America Here we spend 4 consecutive days revealing how the mountain were built, why the volcanoes are where they are and where the plates are still moving. We also cover the major fossil sites and dinosaur finds on the continent. As well as the prevailing weather patterns and surface features, like; rivers, glaciers and deserts. Finally we touch on the minerals, gems and mining operations that occur on this great...
After the classes the student will have a good understanding of the Earth Science of North America.
I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geophysics (and a PhD in Philosophy) and have chosen the most interesting and exciting subjects to teach to get young minds fascinated by Earth Sciences.
Structured lecture classes, so participation optional, relieves anxiety Mixed media slides for different learning styles Engaging topics keeps attention Slides can be seen before class
None, but this is not a basic class, so younger kids may find it challenging unless they are already keen on the subject.
Some classes talk about Global Warming and Climate Change causing more frequent natural disasters. It also talks about mass extinctions including the possibility of humans causing one now (including ourselves) and has some drawn images of animals dying to become fossils. It is delivered in a upbeat manner with positive solutions (eg: switching to renewable energy), but the more sensitive students may find these topics distressing.
