Museum Initiatives Related to K-12 Education
Teaching resources and experience in Earth Science are limited at the K-12 level. Even so, the BC curriculum requires students to have a substantial background in geological, atmospheric and oceanographic sciences. EOS is attempting to address this situation by encouraging EOS students to consider a career in education, and by providing resources for teachers through the Pacific Museum of the Earth.
The Teachers Resource Centre in the Museum is still in development but will provide rocks, minerals, audio-visual materials, curricula and lesson plans. Materials will be available for loan and Graduate / Education students will run tours and lessons for classes.
