Summary

Physical geology classes generally serve as the introductory geoscience course in college-level programs. It is often in these classes that students are recruited to the major. While most physical geology classes cover the same subject matter, there are countless instructional approaches to teach the topics. This webinar will describe a physical geology course that incorporates more than a dozen InTeGrate activities of varying length into the semester. Because these materials have been designed to focus on sustainability and make connections to societal concerns such as limited natural resources and the health of the environment, student learning is enhanced by highlighting the relevance of course topics to their own lives and communities.

Goals

At the end of this webinar, participants will:

  • know where to access online materials for several InTeGrate activities focused on plate tectonics, natural hazards, and minerals
  • learn how these materials have been implemented into a college classroom, serving as a model for their own courses
  • learn about several active learning strategies that can be incorporated immediately into courses for any topic
