This section is devoted to teachers and the need to develop activities for student learning.

Teaching earth science can be fun and inspirational for young people, so we want to help in the pursuit for knowledge.

DSC stands proudly with science teachers in their efforts to achieve their objectives.

DSC is proud to be a contributing member to the Mineral Information Institute (MII) which provides free materials to teachers upon request.
