Gerald G. Winkleman,Ph. This course introduces the teacher to the geological sciences as evidenced in the Grand Canyon. Following directed textbook study, a required visit to the Grand Canyon National Park leads the teacher to field observation of rock types, stratifications, and erosion effects.
Participants apply the knowledge acquired, either in educational lesson plans or a topical paper.
Teachers are advised to allow at least two months lead time for lodging reservations, especially during the peak tourist season.
