"Geology for Teachers and Travelers: Northern Arizona" IDEAS Field Geology Workshop Trip Leader: Dr. Charles Merguerian, Hofstra University Geology Department Dr. Merguerian is the leading authority on the geology of New York City based on his 30-year commitment to field mapping and structural analysis of surface and subsurface rock exposures. He originated the decade-long On-The-Rocks field trip series for the New York Academy of Sciences, has had extensive experience conducting field trips coast to coast, and is a frequent speaker for professional, lay and scholarly groups. In the past decade his research has concentrated on the geologic mapping of tunnels created by tunnel boring machines (TBM). This work has verified geological relationships established by surface mapping and has provided important new insights into the relationships between TBM penetration rates and geological structure, and rock type in the New York City area. This work has paved the way for more efficient tunneling in the New York City area and has opened the field for municipal mega-construction projects including water, utility, and transportation tunnels. The goal of this field trip to Arizona is to examine firsthand the rich geology of northern Arizona as seen through the eyes of a card-carrying geologist familiar with the area. During the eight-day course, the Grand Canyon, the San Francisco volcanic district (including Sunset Crater National Monument), the Jerome copper mining district, Meteor Crater, the Painted Desert, and the Petrified Forest are to be visited, allowing ample time to reflect upon the geology. The prime goal of the trip is to provide an integrated study of a broad geographical area that holds more than 2 billion years of geological history and displays that history in awe-inspiring, spectacular natural rock exposures. Emphasis will be placed on the tectonic, volcanic and sedimentary depositional processes observed, and what conclusions and formative models can be inferred from the field data gathered. Students will be encouraged to engage in small field projects, collect rock samples, and take images and videos for teaching purposes or general interest. Students will be encouraged to discuss observations and draw conclusions independently. Those taking the course for credit will be required to submit a research paper and give a PowerPoint presentation at a group dinner meeting held two weeks after our return. The field trip will begin in Phoenix and then head north to the Flagstaff area, covering the primary sites in an extended circuit. We will stay overnight at motels and travel in 15-passenger vans. This workshop may be taken for 40 hours toward in-service credit or 3 s.h. of Hofstra University graduate credit. |

"The Evolution Controversy and the Importance of Teaching About the Processes and Nature of Science" 7:30-9 p.m., Monroe Lecture Center South Campus Dr. Jay Labov, National Academy of Science |
Jay Labov is senior advisor for education and communication for the National Research Council's Center for Education. He divides his time between the Center for Education and the National Academy of Science's Office of Communications. This lecture will summarize the various approaches that have been taken across the United States to limit the teaching of evolution or to introduce "alternatives" into science classrooms and what recent court cases may mean in helping to shape discourse about these issues in the future. One of the reasons this debate is likely to continue in some form is because many people do not have a deep understanding of the processes, nature and limits of science. This presentation will consider ways that scientists can address these issues. |
|
"Parenting in a Bug's Life" 7:30-9 p.m., Monroe Lecture Center, South Campus Dr. Lisa Filippi, Hofstra University Department of Biology |
People take notice of insects (typically by stomping, spraying or swatting them) only when they damage crops; eat food, clothing or buildings; and bring disease and itchy nights into our lives. However, the reality is that most insects have no negative impact on humans, and are very important and fascinating constituents of terrestrial ecosystems. Moreover, insect lives are extremely complex, and insects are increasingly used to investigate profound issues that affect the evolution of all animal life. Professor Filippi will demonstrate this by talking about the extended parental care that has evolved in the very cute and utterly harmless shield bug. You will see that the lifestyle adjustments, investments and sacrifices these creatures put into child rearing would put many a human parent to shame! |
|
"The Little Appalachians and the Catskills" Dr. Charles Merguerian, Hofstra University Geology Department |
This field geology workshop will enable participants to examine many geologic features on a scale that is small enough that they can be seen easily and fully comprehended. The centerpiece of this trip is an area that, in 1882, William Morris Davis referred to as the "Little Mountains east of the Catskills," a place where one could become familiar with all the kinds of geologic features found in the typical Appalachians, but on a miniature scale. The formations are thin and distinctive, and many of them are full of marine-invertebrate fossils. The relationships between geologic structure and landscape features are easy to visualize. This trip should enable participants to acquire a thorough "feel" for what much of geology is all about.
This workshop may be taken for 16 hours toward Professional Development credit or 2 semester hours of Hofstra University Geology graduate credit. Leave campus at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 28; return at approximately 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 29. Fee: $275 (includes lodging and transportation, but does not include cost of graduate credit) This workshop is appropriate for all teachers, grades K-12, and interested members of the general public. |
|
"Evolution in Action: A Workshop for Middle and Secondary School Science Teachers" 9 a.m.-Noon each day Dr. Russell Burke, Hofstra University Biology Department |
This workshop will engage middle and high school teachers in hands-on demonstrations, experiments and activities that can be used in classrooms to teach evolution. The workshop is designed as an opportunity to become more comfortable with teaching evolution and to explore new methods for activities that involve students in their own learning. The emphasis will be on active-learning style activities that range from the differences between science and non-science to how evolution itself occurs, either by natural selection, drift or other mechanisms. Participants will evaluate the effectiveness in achieving desired learning goals of currently available evolution activities. Participants will also develop and test new activities appropriate for their classrooms.
This workshop may be taken for 45 hours toward Professional Development credit or 3 semester hours of Hofstra University Biology graduate credit. Fee: $250 (does not include cost of graduate credit) This workshop is appropriate for all teachers, grades 8-12. |
|
"A Field Geology Workshop in Hawaii: The Volcanic Geology of the Island of Hawaii" Dr. Charles Merguerian and Steven C. Okulewicz, Hofstra University Geology Department |
Based in Hawaii, the purpose of the course is to provide a hands-on introduction to geologic field observation and the methods needed to integrate geologic conclusions based on field-based learning and observed scientific data. The emphasis for the course will be placed on the tectonic evolution, volcanic and sedimentary processes, and glacial features observed. Conclusions will be based on these data gathered in the field. Student field reports will be derived from observations, measurement, analysis and interpretation in the sub-disciplines of geology. Brief mapping exercises will be undertaken to integrate observations with problem solving and interpretive analysis. A day of formal lecture will precede the trip on Monday, July 16, 2007, and there will be a follow-up lecture with student presentations in August. Participation in both of these events is required. The field workshop is appropriate for all teachers grades K-12 and interested members of the general public. Participants should be in good physical shape and be able to hike over uneven terrain.
This field workshop may be taken for 80 hours toward Professional Development Credit or 4 semester hours of Hofstra University graduate credit. Leaves New York on July 23 and returns August 2, 2007; course will be based in Hilo, Hawaii. Fees: $2,400 (includes airfare, lodging, transportation, and most breakfasts and lunches, but does not include the cost of graduate credit.) |
