EDUCATOR GUIDE

The makers of Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, due in theaters July 11, have collaborated with AGI's Earth Science Week to create an Educator Guide using the movie to explore where “science fact meets science fiction.” To download your own copy of the Educator Guide, click the image above. For more information about the movie, visit www.journey3dmovie.com!

AGI is pleased to announce the theme of Earth Science Week 2008: “No Child Left Inside.” Being held October 12-18, Earth Science Week 2008 will encourage young people to learn about the geosciences by getting away from the television, off the computer, and out of doors.

AGI hosts Earth Science Week in cooperation with sponsors as a service to the public and the geoscience community. Each year, local groups, educators, and interested individuals organize celebratory events. Earth Science Week offers opportunities to discover the Earth sciences and engage in responsible stewardship of the Earth. The program is supported by the U.S. Geological Survey, NASA, the National Park Service, the AAPG Foundation, and other geoscience groups.
