DESCRIPTORS Conservation (Environment); Earth Science; Environmental Education; Experiential Learning; *Geology; Geophysics; High Schools; Learning Activities; *Minerals; *Outdoor Education IDENTIFIERS *Environmental Awareness; Erosion; Geologic Time; Pilot Mountain State Park NC; *Rocks ABSTRACT This activity packet provides educators with a series of hands-on classroom and outdoor education activities for grades 9-12 that focus on geology using the Pilot Mountain State Park. The packet was designed to meet established curriculum objectives of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction's Standard Course of Study. Three types of activities are included:(1) pre-visit classroom activities provide background and vocabulary development; (2) on-site activities conducted at the park; and (3) post-visit classroom activities to reinforce concepts, skills, and vocabulary. This learning experience exposes students to the major concepts of classes of rocks, physical properties of rocks and minerals, formation of rocks and minerals, weathering and erosion, geologic processes, rock and mineral identification, rock cycles, and geologic time. The packet contains an introduction to the geologic history of Pilot Mountain; an activity summary; pre-visit, on-site, and post-visit activity objectives and instructions; a glossary; a list of 14 references; a scheduling worksheet and program evaluation form; and instructions on conducting a daily meal production plan.

    Bibliography of North Carolina Underwater Archaeology

    i BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAROLINA UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY Compiled by Barbara Lynn Brooks, Ann M. Merriman, Madeline P. Spencer, and Mark Wilde-Ramsing Underwater Archaeology Branch North Carolina Division of Archives and History April 2009 ii FOREWARD In the forty-five years since the salvage of the Modern Greece, an event that marks the beginning of underwater archaeology in North Carolina, there has been a steady growth in efforts to document the state’s maritime history through underwater research. Nearly two dozen professionals and technicians are now employed at the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch (N.C. UAB), the North Carolina Maritime Museum (NCMM), the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and East Carolina University’s (ECU) Program in Maritime Studies. Several North Carolina companies are currently involved in conducting underwater archaeological surveys, site assessments, and excavations for environmental review purposes and a number of individuals and groups are conducting ship search and recovery operations under the UAB permit system. The results of these activities can be found in the pages that follow. They contain report references for all projects involving the location and documentation of physical remains pertaining to cultural activities within North Carolina waters. Each reference is organized by the location within which the reported investigation took place. The Bibliography is divided into two geographical sections: Region and Body of Water. The Region section encompasses studies that are non-specific and cover broad areas or areas lying outside the state's three-mile limit, for example Cape Hatteras Area. The Body of Water section contains references organized by defined geographic areas.
