School of Rock (SOR) is the adventure of a lifetime for educators interested in experiencing scientific ocean drilling research with the experts! During this multi-day workshop onboard the JOIDES Resolution or in the Texas Core Repository, educators from across the country and the world work with real core material and lab technology to learn how the science reveals clues about Earth's history.
