Geology 8T: Earth Science Lab for Teachers

 

Lab Activity Notes - Not Updated for Fall yet!

Information about each lab session will be linked at least one week before each lab session. Click on the week you are interested in below to find about that week's lab activities. Additional background information about each activity can be found in your lab manual, or will be given to you in class. If you need any extra information about a topic covered in this class, feel free to look in any Earth Science text (QE28 section of the library if you don't own a text anymore), do an on-line search, or e-mail me. Remember, if you miss class, you still have to do the assignment and take the quiz for that week BEFORE the next class period. Contact me if you have concerns or questions or extenuating circumstances.
