Career Clusters | Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Missouri Career Education prepares Missourians for the 21st century to better serve the needs of students, parents, educators, and employers through challenging, relevant, and accountable programs. Career Clusters provide a way for schools to organize instruction and student experiences around 16 broad categories that encompass virtually all occupations from entry through professional levels. These groupings of occupations are used as an organizing tool for curriculum design, a model for guidance and instruction, and a mechanism for seamless transition from secondary education to postsecondary and/or career.

Arizona Geology 3D
Welcome to the Arizona Geology 3D website. This site consists of QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) movies of the Geologic Map of Arizona draped over digital topography for each 1 X 1 quadrangle. Each movie consists of a 3D perspective of the quadrangle that the user can rotate using the mouse to view the area from any direction. To use this site you will need QuickTime installed on your computer, either as a plug-in for your browser or as a stand-alone application to run downloaded files. AZ Geo 3D Info: Sources of data and how Arizona Geology 3D was developed. Arizona Geologic Map Interactive: A zoomable version of the 1988 Geologic Map of Arizona, with photos of map units for the geologic map used in Arizona Geology 3D.

FINDASAURUS
CRAIG A. MUNSART and KAREN ALONZI-VAN GUNDY ONE WAY to find out more information about dinosaurs is to discover more dinosaur fossils. The type of rocks in which dinosaur fossils (and almost all other fossils) are found is called sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock generally occurs as flat layers called strata (single layers called stratum). Virtually the identical process occurs in nature. Looking for bone layers is much like playing detective. The first thing we must do is narrow the search. Return to top Once the layer is found, more work needs to be done. Using fossils to correlate and locate the correct strata, and to determine where in those strata dinosaurs might be found, it is now possible to see how dinosaur fossils can be traced from one place to another. Time: 30-45 minutes — drawing pencil with eraser — 2 colored pencils — copies of Figures 1 and 2 for each student — overhead transparency of Figures 1 and 3 1) Distribute Figure 1 to students.

WHO'S ON FIRST? A RELATIVE DATING ACTIVITY
MARSHA BARBER and DIANA SCHEIDLE BARTOS PALEONTOLOGY, AND in particular the study of dinosaurs, is an exciting topic to people of all ages. Although most attention in today's world focuses on dinosaurs and why they became extinct, the world of paleontology includes many other interesting organisms which tell us about Earth's past history. Teaching about Earth's history is a challenge for all teachers. In this activity, students begin a sequencing activity with familiar items — letters written on cards. Once students begin to grasp "relative" dating, they can extend their knowledge of geologic time by exploring radiometric dating and developing a timeline of Earth's history. The complete "Paleontology and Dinosaurs" module takes approximately four weeks to teach. WHO'S ON FIRST? INTRODUCTION Scientists have good evidence that the earth is very old, approximately four and one-half billion years old. Return to top Figure 2-A. WHO'S ON FIRST? Figure 2-B.

A unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world's species
Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade. Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation.
