Over 150 formal and informal educators have participated in the School of Rock program since it was initiated in 2005. During the 7-14 day School of Rock workshop, educators have daily opportunities to conduct geological, physical and\/or chemical analyses of sediment and hard-rock cores in laboratories on the ship or at the repository. Scientists who specialize in IODP research instruct participants on topics such as seafloor spreading, mid-ocean ridges, composition and structure of the oceanic crust, paleomagnetism, paleoceanography, biostratigraphy, sedimentology, hydrogeology, and methods for sampling the subseafloor environment. The workshop also provides educators with time to brainstorm and begin planning classroom activities based on their research and newly acquired knowledge.\u00a0Application deadline:<strong> April 7, 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USSSP periodically sponsors seagoing Earth systems research and education workshops\u2014the \u201cSchool of Rock\u201d\u2014aboard the JOIDES Resolution.
