ABSTRACT Keywords: Education - teacher education, geoscience- science; geology - paleontology Continue article Advertisement THE PALEONTOLOGY CONSORTIUM The Paleontology Network Inquiry Consortium consists of a university School of Education and Geology Department and 20 regional school districts. The consortium was initiated in the fall 2000 semester. The initial pilot program began the following fall. The first group of twenty secondary science teachers represented eighteen schools from these districts. The program was designed to meet all of the following objectives. A) Increased understanding of science discipline B) Introduction to inquiry-based pedagogy and other advanced teaching methods

83. Dinosaur Paleontology AN INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE. The most innovative facet of myteaching engages students in the study of dinosaur paleontology. http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEC/AEF/1995/stefanski_dinosaur.html

Dinosaur Paleontology Mark Stefanski Type of entry: A unit outline that may be expanded into a summer field course. Type of activity: Hands-on activity Inquiry based unit Possible off site activity. Target audience: Life Science Biology Anatomy and Physiology. Background Information: Notes for Teacher: Until recently, dinosaurs were looked upon as sluggish, dim witted beasts dragging their tails in the swamps. With the commercialization of Jurassic Park, young people today have a very different view of dinosaur life, but what they probably do not understand is the process by which scientists have revised their interpretation of the fossil record. This unit is intended to help students engage in and appreciate the process by which we can use the fossil record to gain a better understanding of the life history of dinosaurs. Although the unit focuses on one particular group of organisms, it can serve as an introduction to the more general methods of paleontology. Moreover, it is designed to help students hone their skills in general hypothesis testing so that they will be better prepared for future inquiry into other areas of science. The unit, which I've expanded into a summer field course, does require a great deal of advanced preparation on the part of the instructor. However, tremendous resources exist for teachers to educate themselves about current trends in dinosaur paleontology, and with the help of several informative publications and videos, and the services of several excellent museums (including one accessible on the Internet), the needed background information can be gained more quickly than one might think.

85. The Integrated Teaching Of The Fossil Record And The History Of Life Within Elem The Integrated Teaching of the Fossil Record and the History of Life Within Many other activities that lend itself to integrated paleontological http://www.priweb.org/ed/ICTHOL/ICTHOLrp/17rp.htm

The Integrated Teaching of the Fossil Record and the History of Life Within Elementary Dinosaur Discussion The popular media's use of dinosaurs in programming for both children and adults leads to aspects of paleontology being the first exposure to science for many elementary school students. To acknowledge the existence of dinosaurs in the elementary science classroom is one thing, but to use that interest in dinosaur life as a springboard into the history of life and paleontological resources would be an ideal way to expand learning in this area. An educator could then use lessons on the fossil record to expand onto earth and life science concepts. There are a number of ways to achieve this integration. Another activity that addresses the fossil record more hand in hand with the subject of dinosaurs is one that charts rock strata, entitled "Findasaurus". The educator explains to the students that in order to find out more information about dinosaurs, dinosaur fossils must be found. The fossils can be found in the rock strata. In addition, layers of rock often do not follow directly from one location to another. Therefore, scientists often have to determine the correlating layers between two or more locations. This activity gives the student a worksheet showing rock strata from France and Montana, and examples of index fossils which could be used to correlate the layers. Students then work to match up the correct layers from the two locations, learning that the layers do not follow directly from one location to another. Through this activity, the students are made aware of how we know the age of dinosaurs and where they lived.

2004-2005 Graduate Fellows The Application Process for 2004-2005 is closed. Danny Bailey Danny will be working with GK-12 Teachers Gail Tynes and Marilyn Petkovsek on developing activities for a marine drilling module. (Fall '05) Martin Hanzlik completed undergraduate studies in the Geology Department at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagüez (UPRM), where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and received the Harry Hammond Hess Award for outstanding students. During my studies I was president for the Student’s Geological Society from 2002-2003. Martin worked in the GK-12 outreach program at UPRM. The program focused on implementing Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) in schools and offering educational activities based on “hands on” learning using various tools such as graphic calculators combined with calculator based laboratory (CBL). After graduation he worked as a professional geologist at Suelos Inc., conducting foundation analysis (core samples, structural geology, soil samples) for construction purposes. Martin is an M.S. candidate at UT and will be working with Dr. Paul Mann on a marine geology project centered on Puerto Rico. He will be working with GK-12 Teacher Chuy Garcia on an ocean drilling module.

When I was 8 years old, my father bought me a book about palaeontology illustrated by Zdenek Burian. I was so impressed by all the reconstructions of these long-dead animals that I immediately decided that it would be my future job. And I am very stubborn. I still have this book on the shelves of my office to remind me why I am here!
