What’s the BIG Deal?
The Big Deal is the what we will learn and what I’ll bring back to the classroom during and after the trip. I will be gathering information using GPS, gas monitoring, and geoelectrical and gravity instruments. I have some BIG Ideas about how these things will tie into some real life lessons on city and economic planning, technology use, and wildlife/ Public land use careers. I will even learn how to take soil and water samples. A dozen careers just flashed through my mind on that one. Biologist, chemist, utilities operations….. If you still don’t see anything for your class, here are some key words from the expedition description:
Recent lava flows, red hot magma, flora and fauna, turtles, crocodiles, parrots, spectacular scenery. I am way too excited about this, please forgive me veteran bloggers….
