Sessions Strands

This presentation highlights Georgia geology included in 3rd and 5th grade science Georgia Performance Standards. For one week, 29 teachers traveled through every geological region. This project provided an opportunity for teachers to experience firsthand a variety of landforms: faults, outcrops, falls, canyons, mountains, coastal plains, and swamps. Participants studied the constructive and destructive forces that formed the landforms through tours given by experts at Stone Mountain, Brasstown Bald, Okefenokee Swamp, and Providence Canyon. The K-16 collaboration has continued via observations and follow-up professional development.
