Join State Museum geologists at the DH Cadwell Earth Science Workshop and learn more about Earth Science and New York's unique geology. Real world applications of current research address the Common Core and New York State Learning Standards. Varied presentations, discussions, exercises and field trips will be led by staff geologists. Topics will include glacial and sedimentary geology, mineralogy, metamorphic and igneous petrology, landslides, geological influences on ecology, and more. The goal of this workshop is to help

Workshop goals include:

• Help science teachers obtain and prepare materials and experiences for use in teaching Earth Science/Physical Setting;
• Facilitate hands-on investigations of the geologic development of New York State; 
• Establish continuing working relationships among science teachers and the professional geologists from the State Museum.
