Deep Earth Academy
Teaching for Science – Learning for Life
Deep Earth Academy facilitates and develops programs and materials based on scientific ocean drilling expeditions and Earth Systems Science to strengthen students’ science, mathematics, and analytical skills. Our approach includes use of authentic data, inquiry-centered activities and interdisciplinary explorations drawing from the adventures of the JOIDES Resolution ship and the earlier ocean drilling ship; the Glomar Challenger.
We invite you to join us and welcome you as a part of our community of educators. Check back here often for new resources, new opportunities for professional development, and new ways to learn about the world around us! Click to learn more about Deep Earth Academy.
Highlights:
- Teach-It: curriculum and classroom activities for kindergarten through college level!
- Check out the new volume of the graphic novel “Choose Your Own Tales of the Resolution – Jobs on the JR,” where students choose to follow an engineer, scientist, or welder aboard the JOIDES Resolution. This is a great tool for showing science in action and the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math that happens on the ship.
