Classroom Background Information
Mr Steele's ninth grade earth science class is being taught at Wilson Memorial High School located in Fishersville, Virginia.
This experimental approach to teaching earth science will coordinate with Randy and Sheri Propster's cross-country hike along the American Discovery Trail. It is hoped that content understanding and retention will improve as students study topics in the context of a specific geographic location explored by Randy and Sheri. If you, your school, or your organization would like to see a concept covered as it relates to a specific location, please contact Mr. Steele, and we will do our best to include it in the curriculum. We also would appreciate your feedback on this project. Spring 2007 semester starts January 16th. This semester's ADT lessons will take place about once each week, usually on Thursdays.
