FOR TEACHERS ONLY
Base Camp Earth:
We help you teach science.
We help your students learn about
dynamic "headline science."
Science teachers know that students are intrigued by emerging
("headline")
science issues, and learn best by inquiry. But it's hard for science
teachers to find deep resources for emerging science topics, and to
find time to support open-ended inquiry-based science research in
their classrooms.
Base Camp Earth can help. Encourage your students to visit our site
and explore our virtual expeditions of emerging science issues. Each
expedition will acquaint your students with both a contemporary
science
topic and inquiry-based learning - performed by fellow students,
which
makes it accessible, inviting and fun.
Base Camp Earth is designed to be engaging for the science
enthusiasts
in your classroom - but even more inviting to bright students who
might find traditional science stuffy or boring.
Base Camp Earth:
Get hands-on with it!
We're actively seeking ways to get students, classrooms and teachers
engaged with Base Camp Earth.
