Faculty Member: Benjamin Moulton (Lecturer from the Dept. of Earth Sciences)
Student Collaborators: Darlee Gerrard and Antoine Després-Bedward
This project focused on the redesign of the lab portion of a 2nd year course entitled Intro to Earth Evolution. The course was co-taught with an assistant curator at the ROM, Dave Rudkin and is about the evolution of life and the Earth as a complex set of inter-connected systems. The project focused on science communciation and the impact of experiential learning at the ROM compared to inside the classroom.
Darlee Gerrard drafted a literature review for the project and Antoine Després-Bedward developed new assignments for the course content involving the museum exhibits.
