The South Carolina Geological Survey developed an Earth Science Education Series that meets South Carolina Science Academic Standards set forth by the Department of Education. A CD-ROM of this information is available by request. Classroom Posters listed below are FREE for teachers, please inquire.
An earth science study kit containing 24 South Carolina minerals and rocks with a 22-page booklet is available to teachers at a discount. Please email Robby Morrow (morrowr@dnr.sc.gov) or call (803) 896-1214 for ordering information. (Regularly $25 with a $5 handling charge for mailing the kit.)
Every year the American Geosciences Institute hosts Earth Science Week. More information can be found on their webpage. To requst an Earth Science Week kit filled with educational material, email Robby Morrow (morrowr@dnr.sc.gov) with your name and shipping address.
