SEG in the Classroom

SEG supports  students who want to rock

SEG has a number of way to connect with teachers and students who want to use earth science teaching tools. Connecting teachers to MineralsEd  and its wide variety of online and other resources will make it easier for teachers to introduce students to geology and mining.  SEG has reached out to schools in the Smithers area to connect teachers to those resources and to pay for any expenses involved.

Field Trips

Elementary schools can apply for sponsorship of trips to historic mining sites, such as Barkerville or the Driftwood Fossil Beds. For example in the past SEG has donated to the following trips:

• Twain Sullivan Elementary $500 toward visit to Haida Gwai to study the geological structure of Graham Island, columnar basalt, different types of sand, and FN use of rock for tools and jewelry. 
• Silverthorne Elementary $500 towards Vancouver /Victoria trip including a visit to the Britannia Mine Musem
• John Field Elementary  $500 – Prince Rupert to visit Ridley Coal Terminal and see petroglyphs  andTerrace to explore for fossils.

If your school is fund-raising for such a field trip, please contact outreachsmithersexplorationgroup@gmail.com and we'll be pleased to consider your request.
