Dinosaur Train's December Nature Trackers Club challenge
Get prepared with Dinosaur Train's December Nature Trackers Club challenge. Help be prepared for natural emergencies by making a Go Bag with your parents. Check out the Dinosaur Train episodes on natural emergencies such as earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, and droughts. Don't worry it's not scary! The Pteranodon family talks about safety practices and gets prepped so they are not in danger.
Welcome! This is the gateway to adventure and discovery
Through this blog pebble pups and junior members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society can access their lessons, work on assignments and projects, and receive details about field trips in the Pikes Peak Region. This Internet program is also suitable for young people who are interested in Earth science but do not live near a rock club or gem and mineral society or for young people anywhere who want a deeper dive into these topics. The only requirement is that all participants must be members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society and must fill out the CSMS membership form (under important websites) and send their registration and membership fee in. Steven Veatch is the senior instructor and will need an email from you with your name, address, phone number, and permission from your parents to participate in this program.
