Modelling mines: how can a new 3D modelling platform make mining more sustainable and be part of the solution to climate change?

Futurum

These data are collected from surveys of the surface geology and drill holes, which allow geologists to build a picture of the subsurface rock. Geology, maths, physics, chemistry and biology are all sciences that will be leading this research. What is Loop? How does Loop work? Drill holes can extend deep into the rock.

Ward’s Science–So Many STEM Resources

Ask a Tech Teacher

One of the most difficult skills to teach in school is problem solving. I don’t think schools can manage without coding and STEM. Ward’s Science is known to its customers and the industry as the complete solution for materials supporting classroom science subjects. What I really like about Ward’s Science.

What it Means to Be Teaching Out of Field (OOF) and What to Do About It

Mrs. Harris Teaches

Many science teachers with 5 years of experience or less are teaching subjects in which they have not been prepared. In fact, one study found only 36% of high school science teachers – with five years of experience or less – are teaching the subject they’re qualified to instruct. As a science teacher, I can relate.

How STEM Education Improves Student Learning

STEM Education Guide

The ‘Science’ realm includes fields such as chemistry, biology, and physics. The ‘Technology’ section includes computer science and medical technology. I learned about geology by hiking to ancient rock formations and natural history by collecting shark teeth and wandering through the Smithsonian.

Farming on permafrost

Futurum

Pathway from school to northern high latitude research • Permafrost science is a branch of Earth science that requires knowledge of geology, glaciology, geomorphology and climatology. • If you are interested in geomorphology , consider studying physical geography, geology or Earth science at university.

Evolution and the Geologic Time Scale

Amy Brown Science

Teaching the geologic time scale has always posed a bit of a problem for me in my Biology classes. My students don't need the depth of knowledge that they might get in an Earth Science class. On the other hand, the concept of geologic time and the appearance and evolution of life on Earth is VERY important to my class.
