The USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum and Utah Archaeological Society look to strengthen K-12 Science Core Curriculum understanding

 

The Castle Valley chapter (CVAS) of the Utah Statewide Archaeological Society (USAS) will be assisting the USU Eastern Prehistoric Museum in developing local student’s understanding of the state Science Core Curriculum by visiting the Museum.

 

2014 CVAS President, Craig Royce, would like to invite educators, students, and community members to attend the 7:00pm chapter meeting in the upstairs classroom of the Prehistoric Museum on January 16^th to participate in discussions by museum staff members, Dr. Kenneth Carpenter, Dr. Tim Riley, and Lloyd Logan, as well as local high school and elementary educators on how the museum’s exhibits and activities can help introduce students of all ages to the scientific principles underpinning the Science Core Curriculum. 

 

At the Jan. 16^th meeting, the CVAS chapter will also introduce the new 2014 officers: Craig Royce, Pinnacle Canyon Academy educator and author of “Uranium Seekers”, will serve as president;  Margene Hackney, USAS and Nine-Mile Canyon Coalition founding member, will remain as the Treasurer; Christina Collingwood will serve as the Secretary; and Heidi Essex, the 2013 CVAS President, will step down from her successful presidency into the Vice-President role.   

 

If you have any questions, please contact Craig Royce at 435-888-2234.

Chief Preparator, Carrie Herbel, (left), Volunteer, Ralph Escamilla, (center), and Museum Director/Paleontologist, Dr. Ken Carpenter, (right) work on the vertebrae of the Stegosaurus with the Director of Education and Exhibits, Lloyd Logan (behind rail) looking on. Creating a dinosaur mount is a very time-consuming process, but the end result promises to be very exciting. Watch the dinosaurs being worked on either in the Observation Labs or in the Dinosaur Pit in the Hall of Paleontology, (general admission rates apply). Anytime is a great time to purchase a museum membership, but this is a particularly exciting time. With membership, the visitor can come to the museum year-round, (during regularly scheduled hours of operation), for one very low fee. Memberships can now be processed online at http://usueastern.edu/museum/involved/memberships.htm
