For Teachers

Earth Science Week 2009 will be celebrated from October 11-17, with the theme "Understanding Climate." During Earth Science Week, we hope that you will bring some aspect of Earth Science into your classroom, and take your classroom outside! Your students will not only learn something new about the world around them, but will have fun discovering why Earth Science is important to society.
