Field Experience

Were you in the field this season? No

Continued Collaboration with Research Team Members

Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants: An initial information session from 3:45-4:05 at a middle school faculty meeting on October 8, 2002, resulted in many requests for further information on the TEA program and interest in the collaborative team.

An follow-up information session held from 3:30-4:15 in the middle school on NOvember 14, 2002, resulted in the commitment of Brenda Lary and Alfred Vigil to my collaborative team.

Has a member of your research team visited your classroom in the last year? N/A

Transfer

How are you sharing your research experience with your colleagues, district, community, etc? I have not yet conducted my field work and therefore have not had an opportunity to do any transfer work. However, I have begun to talk about my upcoming trip with my current 8th grade class in the hope that they will log on and follow my field experience next school year. We are also starting a unit this month on erosion in which we cover continental glaciers. At that time I will be showing a video on Shackelton's voyage (which ties in with a unit on explorers) and teaching about the use of ice cores to track climate change, in addition to the general geology of continental glaciers.

Type of Interaction / Outcomes / Dates / Locations / Parcticipants: I have recently been in contact with two people in the Houston area regarding Antarctica. Besse Dawson (Pearland High School) has contacted me about her 1998 Antarctic experience and Jake Angelo, Technology Director at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, has contacted me about collaborating with their team. At this point, I have no associates using any of my research experience as I have not been in the field.

Presentations and Real Audio Sessions

Presentation Date, Title, Number of Attendees, Etc. An initial information session from 3:45-4:05 at a middle school faculty meeting on October 8, 2002, resulted in many requests for further information on the TEA program and interest in the collaborative team.

An follow-up information session held from 3:30-4:15 in the middle school on NOvember 14, 2002, resulted in the commitment of Brenda Lary and Alfred Vigil to my collaborative team.

I presented to the science department teachers (lower, middle, and upper school teachers) on November 25, 2002, to inform them of my upcoming field experience and to introduce how they can access the information in their classes. I also solicited feedback as to the types of information they would like to see in my daily journals for use in their classes.

Have you presented to your local board of education this year? No

Activities Development

Other Classroom Connections: I have not yet conducted my field work and therefore have not had an opportunity to do any transfer work.
