My name is Terri Schott. I am currently a 7th grade science teacher at Franklin Middle School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our curriculum is heavy in the area of Earth Science and includes: Soils, Erosion and Deposition, Rocks and Minerals, and Plate Tectonics. Besides these I also teach a unit in Force and Motion and Ecology. I am originally from Cedar Rapids and I attended the University of Northern Iowa where I obtained both my BA and MA degrees. In my spare time I like to travel, ride my bike, kayak, and decorate gourds. I have two Bengal cats that keep me entertained and amused.
I am Marion Patterson, a resource teacher in the Home School Assistance Program with the Cedar Rapids Community School District, Iowa. Our department works with families that choose to home school their students and we prepare a variety of lessons to supplement their education. My initial educational background is in health, physical education and recreation which I have since expanded through professional writing, study, and teaching in various disciplines and venues. A Yankee who has lived in the deep South, the Inland Empire, and "Ozland" I find I am "at home" in the upper Midwest, and that the landscape fascinating. So, getting down and dirty with an Earth Systems Approach to geology is right up my alley. Bunnies, chickens, and a garden keep my husband and me busy along with some travel, muscle powered sports, photography, reading, and stamping.
In this summer course we plan to explore local sites that exemplify geological stories and develop preliminary plans to use in our courses in the next academic year.

Rain. Just what we need on the anniversary of the 2009 Great Iowa Floods!
