Introduce yourself, ask them their name Say what you do, ask them their grade What are your goals? Show what scientists do Show that science is accessible to everyone Inspire kids to learn more science Have fun! Engage the kids Have hands on activities, such as Drawing on balloons for stress and strain Triangulation exercise for locating earthquakes Cutting clay pictures for faults Sheets covered in dots for how big is a million Slinky for s and p waves Different kinds of rocks metamorphic Ask questions, such as What do you notice about Why is there a mountain? Why does this rock look like this? Use analogies, such as Liquefaction is like your feet in the sand at the beach Locating the distance of and earthquake with S and P waves is like locating the distance of lightening using the time difference between seeing the lightening and hearing the thunder Also, have free goodies Pens, stickers, hats, geology kits And please include: Caltechs Tectonics Observatory TO website: HYPERLINK "http://tectonics.caltech.edu/outreach"http://tectonics.caltech.edu/outreach Thanks to Henry and Betty Moore Foundation Afterwards, evaluate how it went: Look at their body language. Did they smile? Did they ask questions? Were they happy? Workshop #2 May 12, 2009 CCC team: James Maloney, Tara Gomez Participants: Willy Amidon, Steve Kidder, Nina Lin, Anthony Sladen, Aron Meltzner General strategies: Learn through experience. Define your learning objectives. Then pick activities that best help do this. Different types of learning: visual, kinesthetic Use probing questions TO tour: Get boxes for samples that they can take home? (for Willys lab) Teach something cool about science, and how this is important to everyone, even those who will not be scientists. Classroom visit: Can point out science is teamwork (some go in field, some do calculations, some do lab experiments), international. Give email to teacher for follow-up questions. Eaton Canyon: Make sure there are at least 2 adults for each group Have patience! Give high energy students extra jobs Have eye contact with each kid so they feel connected as well as stay in line Dont always lead like a mother duck; be inside the group as well No ipods Could say, at the beginning, What do you expect to see? Write this down. Then at end of hike can review. Things to discuss: Faults, rock types, weathering, patterns, waterfall Have activities ready for during breaks. Some activities: Work sheet with names of things to find, or with actual photos (can work in teams, and can get prize) Count the number of times you see something, such as a certain type of rock. During lunch break, could sketch something Use notebook for observations, reflections, diagrams, questions. See: sciencenotebooks.org Maybe have a few vocabulary words in mind. Then: What do you see? Geologists call this ..; Write in notebook A fault is . What are the important features? Draw them. One strategy: Talk about something. Then ask What do you see over there? Science Fair: Ninas idea for outreach activities that have K-6th grade: make their own rock collection.  !EGly) x }  ' ?
