FIELD TRIP - Geology Expedition Leader
Geological Exploration of Washington State
Twenty one 6th graders and four instructors from the French American School of Puget Sound explored the geological history of Washington state with me.
From the wild Pacific coast to the spectacular volcanic landscapes of the Columbia river plateau, the students discovered the processes that form and modify beaches, rivers, fossil deposits, mountains, volcanoes and glaciers through time. In the field, through observations of rock outcrops, collection of samples and challenging questions, these adventurous students learned how to decipher the geological story of our state.
