arrived after 10 days of fieldwork, everyone was ready to head back to
Fairbanks and the luxuries of student housing. Back in Fairbanks,
the teachers spent an additional three days, helping to unpack, prepare,
and curate their fossils. A final celebration and then, the four-week
adventure was at an end, but the memories linger and the team is still
together. Their job this year is to work together to generate an earth
science curriculum for the entire district. Both UCMP and UAF will support
them in this effort, which will include bi-weekly team meetings, the development
of new resources, and mentoring of other teachers in the district.This
project is funded by the National Science Foundation, with support from
WCCUSD, Mechanics Bank, US Army Fort Wainwright, and the Bureau of Land
Management. You can learn more about this Alaskan adventure, “meet” the
teachers involved, and keep track of the projectıs progress by visiting
