Teresita Gravina (IT) - Why study the Science of our Panet

Editor's Notes

• #4 I am pretty sure if I am going to ask you "why we need to study biology?" You would say to protect our self from disease, to protect environmet and human being but what about if I am asking "why we need to study geology?"
• #5 maybe some of you will think about volcanic eruption or earthquake, very nice and quite things that I's better to know to be away. But 
• #6 But Earth science is more than these, belive, I am a geologist is about the whole planet in which we live, about his history and his future. and as human being have been so good in make and impact on earth his equilibrium how it's changing due to climate change, 
• #7 But this discioline is not complusory in a lot of countries, and even if is compulsory is part of Science curricula and taught mostly by biology teacher or is part of Geography curricula.
• #8 But if you are searching a topic to have a STEM approach Earth Sciences are perfect to you, because they integrate STEM at all! And you do not need any laboratory! You can just go outside and have an outdoor lesson 
• #9 Erath science is more about knowing about rocks, is helping growing up aware future citizen and help them them to have a sustainable approach about our planet. 
• #10 So please, even if you are not Science Teacher please use Earth science topic in your lessons.
