2009-present Hamilton Elementary 2nd Grade Resident Scientist | Hamilton Elementary School
Each year I return to my former elementary school in rural Indiana and present basic geoscience principles to second-graders. Throughout the year, we skype to talk about follow-up topics like 'How Does a Scientist Take Notes?', and 'What Tools Does a Scientist Use?". These lessons serve two purposes: 1) students learn basic geologic and scientific principles; 2) young students in a "brain drain" state get to meet a real scientist who once sat in the very same desk they sit in today!
Together with an experienced elementary teacher, Mindy Stevens, (my mom!) I have developed a 5-day curriculum that incorporates national common core standards on science, reading and math with an emphasis on geoscience. Check out our lesson plans below!
