The list is certainly not exhaustive. Many of these items are interrelated, and it is, therefore, often difficult or impossible to provide a simple solution for any single issue. In some instances, there may be more questions presented than answers offered. We hope these paragraphs will at least provide a starting point for further discussion. Critical Issues. We divide the issues, perhaps artificially, as follows.

Teaching
As is true of all faculty members in the Department of Geology, I teach at all three levels in our curriculum: introductory courses, including those for nonmajors; courses for undergraduate geology majors; and graduate-level courses. Every fall semester I each Geology 121 Prehistoric Life to about 100 nongeology students. The course fulfills a biology requirement. Dr. Lieberman teaches the same course in the spring semester, and together we are writing a textbook for the course. It is a lot of fun to teach and has captured the interest of several students who have decided to major in geology. In the spring semester I teach Geology 521 Paleontology, also listed as Biology 622. This is the introductory paleontology course required of most geology majors. Rather than trudging through the phyla, an approach that marks many such courses, I try to focus attention on the problem areas of paleontology and the ways in which paleontology can provide broader insight into geology and biology. About 35 students enroll each spring; perhaps a third of these are biology majors, and most of the rest are geology majors. The course is accompanied by a laboratory course that is taught as a separate course, Geology 523, also listed as Biology 623. It is possible to complete the course successfully without taking the laboratory, and a number of students choose to do so. Every summer I teach Geology 560 Introductory Field Geology. This course is taught at KU's geology field camp north of Ca–on City, Colorado, where we have a permanent facility. Teaching field geology is a high privilege for me, and I regard it as the most important course that I teach. Students typically go to camp at the end of their junior year. They arrive at camp thinking of themselves as geology students and return thinking of themselves as geologists.

November 14, 2003, Hour Two: La Brea Tar Pits Program Summary Guests Books/Articles Related Links and Resources ... SFKC Home Program Summary At the Page Museum in Los Angeles, work is the pits, and the staff loves it. That’s because the museum is located at the La Brea tar pits, from which more than two million Ice Age fossils representing 650 different species of plant, animal, and insect have been unearthed. The well-preserved remains of mastodons, dire wolves, saber-toothed cats, birds, small mammals, and a variety of flora give us a detailed snapshot of the Los Angeles environment of 10,000–40,000 years ago. “Brea” means tar in Spanish, but that’s a misnomer, because the black liquid that oozes up through the earth is not tar, but oil. What’s the difference? Tar is the result of decaying plant material such as peat moss, while oil is the product of the decay of animals. The seeping oil mixes with soil to form a sticky substance known as asphalt, which acts like flypaper to trap unsuspecting critters that venture into it. The occasional squirrel still gets caught. Why were the Ice Age animals fooled into entering the fatal field? Because the asphalt is covered with a layer of water, which back then attracted birds looking for a place to alight and land creatures looking for a drink. They would get stuck in the asphalt and die of dehydration or starvation.

    Fossil Butte National Monument A Curriculum Guide for Teachers of the Second and Third Grade Levels
    The concepts of time, past life, and fossils are often difficult for children to comprehend. Fossil Butte National Monument has developed a fossil education curriculum guide designed to aid teachers presenting these principles to students in the second and third grades.
    Organization
    The curriculum includes four units organized into grade specific lesson plans. They are: fossilization and human influences for second grade, and adaptation, community, and human influences for third grade. All units have fossil themes and complement science curriculums from Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah.
    Unit Content
    Each unit begins with an introduction followed by a vocabulary list, background information for the teacher, pre-questions, pre-site activities, field trip ideas, post-questions, post-site activities, a list of National Parks and Monuments that illustrate concepts of the unit, and a reference list for teachers and students.
    Activities
    All activities are highly interactive or "hands-on." Although designed around a field trip, activities are easily adaptable for groups unable to visit a fossil site.

    75. Preface To Learning From The Fossil Record
    from the Fossil Record , consist of many examples of resources and activitieseffective in teaching major concepts in paleontology and related sciences.
    http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/fosrec/preface.html
    PREFACE TOXIC GASES in the Earth's atmosphere. Bizarre sea creatures bearing eyeballs on the ends of long stalks. A land with "ferns" growing over 10 m (30 feet) high, but no grass. Giant dragonflies and spiders measuring almost a meter (3 feet). Flying reptiles the size of small airplanes. Giant meteors and massive volcanic eruptions. Sounds like a story for science fiction. It is a story, but it is not fiction. These are all events in the history of our Earth. We have learned and continue to learn about this story from the evidence preserved in the fossil record. Not all the chapters are written because much of the evidence is incomplete. Therefore, to understand this history and to reconstruct the ancient worlds alluded to above requires a large input of imagination. This is the best of stories, and one that needs telling. It is also SCIENCE! Simply defined, science is the disciplined interplay of data and imagination. A student's fascination with fossils and ancient, exotic worlds can be tapped in order to have them think scientifically as they use data as a springboard for imagination. There is a critical need for greater scientific literacy in the US. Citizens need to have greater scientific knowledge and a better understanding of what science is, of how the sciences have contributed to our society and economy, and of how scientific approaches and information are required to protect the world's ecosystem so that it and we can coexist. In order to address these issues through education, the National Academy of Sciences has produced an extensive set of National Standards for Science Education. The study of the history of our Earth and of ancient life can provide a very "user-friendly" way of teaching science to students, and many of the National Standards can be addressed through paleontological examples. Part of the aim of this workshop is to provide examples of activities that are effective, engaging to students, and also address specific National Standards.

During the invention of this activity we discovered that not only can this be used for students with visual impairments but also a powerful tool for ALL students to learn basic concepts associated with fossil identification and paleontology. These concepts lend themselves to extended investigations in diversity, paleoecology, and evolution. Besides addressing the Paleontological concepts the activity can be used for developing higher order thinking skills, integration of other related sciences, and teaching the scientific method all of which are necessary for engaging ALL students in geoscience research partnerships. 2002 Denver Annual Meeting (October 27-30, 2002)

After teaching courses in paleontology, micropaleontology, paleoecology, sedimentology, carbonate petrology, and environments of deposition from 1965 through 1999, John Utgaard is very happy with his occasional assignment of teaching a University Honors Science class on Dinosaurs and Their World. It focuses on what we know about dinosaurs - their fossils, morphologies, origin, types, relatives, relationships, lifestyles, distributions (in time, in space, in paleoenvironments), biotic associates, and extinctions - and how we know it - application of basic scientific concepts of geology, paleontology, paleoecology, and paleoenvironmental analysis.

"A T. rex named Sue" at Bishop Museum The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum was one of the first two sites selected to display "Sue", the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton discovered by Sue Hendrickson in the hills of South Dakota. Sue Hendrickson and "Sue" fossil preparator, Terry Wentz, visited Honolulu and Bishop Museum to participate in a day of paleontology activities with approximately 100 elementary and intermediate Hawai`i public school children. My task was to create and lead four hands-on activities for the children. My objective was to have the students gain a glimpse into the variety of tasks that a paleontologist can do. Armed with new knowledge and insight into the work of a paleontologist, students followed up the activities with a question and answer discussion with Sue Hendrickson and Terry Wentz.
