Friday we were able to spend time at the University of Utah and the Natural History Museum of Utah with our 8th grade science teachers. 

A great resource for any science teacher who teachers Earth Science is the IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology) site.  There are some fantastic interactives that deal with Earth's structure, hot spots, plate boundaries, etc. 

We also have 8 teaching toolboxes from the Natural History Museum available to our district:

• Diggin' Dinosaurs
• Bones
• Insects
• Soils
• Plants
• Rocks and Minerals
• Field Tools- Water
• Field Tools- Land

If you would like to check out any of these boxes (for free) please contact
