"Traveling Through Time - Keystone, Colorado - Beaches to Mountains"
July 18, 21, 25, and 28, 2000
Bob Raynolds, Principal Investigator of Geology, Denver Museum of Natural History

Field trip to investigate the geological evidence for dramatic changes in the Keystone landscapes. We will visit several sites in the Vail Pass and Dillon Reservoir area to seek clues of past climates and landforms. Keystone has seen oceans, swamps, reefs and glaciers! Come see if we can find their traces!

Participants should bring sturdy walking shoes and appropriate weather protection. The trip will be mostly by van, but several short jaunts are planned. Suitable for families and kids of all ages. Limit of 20 participants per trip.

"Colorado Flora - Field Work with Plants"
July 18, 21, 25, and 28, 2000
Rob Reinsvold, Professor of Biology, University of Northern Colorado

This session will focus on using field experiences in teaching botany and plant ecology. During the field trip, participants will be introduced to the flora and ecology of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. There will also be ample opportunity for casual botanizing and enjoying the scenery. In addition, presenters will discuss how to use field experiences in botany classes, the kinds of topics that can be taught with field examples, how to develop field experiments, and how to assist students in developing their appreciation of the non-lab setting in their education.
