Field Education 2009 Stewart
A significant and exciting part of geophysics education is conducting field surveys to acquire subsurface data. Field camps allow students to gain hands-on experience with geophysical measurement techniques and surveying methods. These experiences help students better understand concepts of subsurface imaging and earth processes. Challenges to providing field instruction include the high costs of equipment and personnel, as well as logistical and safety issues. However, students consistently report that field camps are among the most useful courses and memorable experiences of their education.

Science and challenges of lunar sample return workshop estec february 2014
The Moon is an important exploration destination for ESA and is considered to be the next destination for humans beyond Low Earth Orbit.
European access to the lunar surface is most likely to be made through cooperation with international partners and opportunities for international cooperation in the broad area of lunar exploration are being investigated .
Sample return missions are an important element in the future cooperative exploration scenarios under discussion, as a next step after surface missions. They are a means of building international partnerships, developing and demonstrating technologies and capabilities, and performing detailed analyses to answer fundamental scientific questions and address exploration enabling knowledge gaps through analyses which cannot be performed in situ. Such missions may be required to access extreme environments, perform complex surface operations, and handle uniquely demanding sample requirements. Such activities can result in major advances in planetary sciences, astrobiology and the future of exploration.
A Lunar Polar Sample Return mission, envisaged in the early 2020s by Roscosmos, has been identified by ESA as an important cooperative mission opportunity, and as a logical follow-on from a possible European participation to the Luna-Resurs Lander mission planned by Roscosmos before the end of this decade. In addition a human tended deep space capability, as initiated with the Orion vehicle currently developed by NASA in cooperation with ESA, can be of benefit to a sample return mission and may lead to a future integration of robotic and human exploration.
In preparation for these missions it is important to review our current knowledge and understanding of the Moon, establish the scientific and technical goals that should be targeted and the associated challenges that lie ahead. This workshop will explore the possible benefits and scientific return from Lunar Sample Return missions and investigate the implications for future mission systems.
Objectives
The workshop is being organised to gather information and opinions from stakeholders in the science and technology communities to inform future studies into lunar sample return missions, most likely to be considered in the frame of international partnerships. The inputs will be considered by the ESA Lunar Sample Return Science Definition Team and used as inputs for a Science Definition and Requirements Document which will be used to inform future ESA activities in this area.
The key objectives are to identify:
Ways in which Lunar Sample Return will support preparations for future exploration activities
Scientific priorities and competencies for the analysis of samples and to define objectives for sample return missions
Mission requirements that these objectives impose on missions
Technical challenges of meeting these requirements and potential solutions

Experiential Assessment with Virtual Reality: Lessons from Second Life, React...
The dawn of commercially-available virtual reality (VR) opens up new opportunities for immersive environments and game-based curricula in higher education. Many VR software companies have produced products to allow for a new form of experiential education. In this talk, we explore three approaches drawn from non-VR pedagogies that may be used with VR for experiential assessment. The first pedagogy involves student creation and presentation of 3D-exhibits in the virtual world of Second Life. Students received grades based on the quality of the 3D-building, the research done in preparation of the exhibits, and presentations of the work to an audience of non-student residents of the virtual world. The second pedagogy is based on Reacting to the Past role-playing games in which students spend weeks using classic texts to restage historical debates. Students were graded based on their speaking in-class and their writing outside of class. The third pedagogy involves less structured role-play and “epic finales” designed to provide a closing experience in lieu of typical final exams. Students were presented with a scenario and were graded based on recorded video of them collaboratively solving it. For these three pedagogies, we will discuss examples of student work, related education research, and the potential for each to be used in experiential assessment with virtual reality.

Jfk Space Exploration
President John F. Kennedy proposed sending astronauts to the moon in 1961, marking a major event in the Space Race between the US and USSR. Kennedy's goal was for the US to land astronauts on the moon before the end of the 1960s. Though Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, his vision helped motivate NASA and contractors to achieve the first manned moon landing in 1969. Kennedy played a pivotal role in advancing American leadership in space exploration during the Cold War era.

Students received grades based on the quality of the 3D-building, the research done in preparation of the exhibits, and presentations of the work to an audience of non-student residents of the virtual world. The second pedagogy is based on Reacting to the Past role-playing games in which students spend weeks using classic texts to restage historical debates. Students were graded based on their speaking in-class and their writing outside of class. The third pedagogy involves less structured role-play and “epic finales” designed to provide a closing experience in lieu of typical final exams. Students were presented with a scenario and were graded based on recorded video of them collaboratively solving it. For these three pedagogies, we will discuss examples of student work, related education research, and the potential for each to be used in experiential assessment with virtual reality.

Jfk Space Exploration
President John F. Kennedy proposed sending astronauts to the moon in 1961, marking a major event in the Space Race between the US and USSR. Kennedy's goal was for the US to land astronauts on the moon before the end of the 1960s. Though Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, his vision helped motivate NASA and contractors to achieve the first manned moon landing in 1969. Kennedy played a pivotal role in advancing American leadership in space exploration during the Cold War era.

This document provides information about the Seismic Sleuths curriculum, which was developed by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The curriculum contains 6 units for grades 7-12 that focus on earthquakes, including their causes, effects, measurement, building design, and emergency preparedness. It was field tested by teachers and is intended to help students understand earthquakes through hands-on activities while also emphasizing personal and community preparedness.

Ethnoscience and STS
This document discusses the importance of teaching ethnoscience in STS (Science, Technology and Society) courses. It defines ethnoscience as indigenous technical knowledge and traditional knowledge systems. The document argues that ethnoscience should be taught in STS to provide a critical perspective on what constitutes "science", to recognize other valid ways of knowing, and to challenge the dominance of Western science. It also notes that ethnoscience studies the relationships between living things and their environments. Examples of potential class activities involving ethnoscience, such as fieldwork, debates and projects, are also provided.
