My Project

A small team of high school Earth Science teachers are totally breaking the mold and embarking on an innovative new approach to teaching science. We are challenging the traditional model of teaching unit by unit and working to introduce big ideas and concepts through the story of geologic time. We will start the first day of school at the Big Bang and progress through all of geologic time leaving time at the end to emphasis the future state of our planet.

Our students need these binders to help assist students organize the interconnected components of this complex planet.

As good environmental stewards, the binders will be used year after year!
