Description: A workshop in the series of "ScienceWorks" Professional Development Workshops for Grade 6-11, designed by a creative team of science educators to increase teachers' confidence and ability to teach science with a hands-on approach. The workshop involves teachers in activities closely linked to specific objectives in the curriculum guidelines. The pupose of this workshop is to develop an understanding in students of the new developments in the methods and technologies used to study the components and dynamics of the earth's crust. The study of this strand will involve extensive investigation using models or computer simulations, and will lead students to an understanding of the dynamics of geological systems and events. As a result of this understanding, students will be better able to explain the theories of earth science and to make connections between these theories and their own experiences with local geology.
