Well, I just realized that October 11-17, 2009 is Earth Science week. If you forgot about Earth Science week as well and are rushing out to get someone a belated Earth Science Week card- never fear!

Earthsciweek.org, sponsored by the American Geological Institute, has all of your Earth Science Week needs covered. The For Teachers page has Classroom Activities, contests, events near you, and resources for this year’s theme- Understanding Climate.

Applications for Science Teachers: Any K-12 teacher of an Earth science course, unit, or lesson will find connections to many different resources here. This site links teachers to much more than just Earth Science Week supports. There are some wonderful climate resources as well. Don’t take Earth Science Week for granite. Take some time to “dig” around.
