"Life at the Limits: Earth, Mars, and Beyond"
The Lunar and Planetary Institute invites you to join an
Earth-bound exploration of astrobiology on July 10-17,
2005!
Life at the Limits: Earth, Mars, and Beyond is a NASA-
sponsored training workshop for middle-and high-school
science teachers (others welcome, including pre-service
teachers, informal educators, education specialists, early
college instructors, and junior college instructors). At
field sites in Nevada and California participants will
investigate some extreme geological and chemical
conditions in which life on Earth can thrive. This hands-
on, real-world experience will enhance classroom teaching
about earth and space science, especially about what
organisms need to survive and the search for past and
present extraterrestrial life. Astrobiologists and
planetary scientists will lead the field and laboratory
experiences, helping to connect the field observations
with the search for life in our solar system and beyond
through discussions and proven, hands-on, standards-based
classroom and laboratory activities that are ready to
share with students!

application, please visit

Applications Due: March 23, 2005
We hope you can assist us in distributing this workshop
announcement to listserves, potentially interested
individuals, or incorporate it into appropriate
newsletters. We don't want anyone to miss out on this
wonderful opportunity!

Environmental Education at Campanario Eco Lodge and
Biological Reserve
Environmental education for students of all ages !! !!
Proyecto Campanario's second mission is to promote
environmental education to all who spend time at
Campanario, both local and international visitors.
Campanario offers 4 basic programs to accommodate different
age levels, interests, and different lengths of stay.
Please select the program best suited for you:
Ecological Tourism Expeditions for the adult or family
group. Rainforest Conservation Camps for families and/or
middle and high school students. Tropical Ecology Student
Courses for university, high school, and middle school
students. Tropical Ecology Teachers' Programs.
"Give the gift of a nature trek to your family." Ecological
Tourism Expeditions for the adult or family group.
Rainforest Conservation Camps for families and/or middle
and high school students. Tropical Ecology Student Courses
for university, high school, and middle school students.
Tropical Ecology Teachers? Programs.
"Get away for retreats and your own personal adventure."
Enviromentally minded individuals, families, groups of
friends, and corporate executives who want to plan their
vacations, annual get-togethers and retreats are welcome at
Campanario. You can spend your days hiking with our
naturalists, or you might also choose to go fishing,
kayaking, swimming, and snorkeling. Be sure to plan time
for just relaxing on the beach or in a hammock. Our goal is
to have you absorb as many of the sights, sounds, and
smells of the rainforest as possible. A minimum of a 4-day,
3-night trip is necessary, but a 6-day, 5-night trip is
recommended to more fully absorb the wonders of the area.
"Become involved in environmental education." Conservation
Camps are special programs we've designed for families and
middle and high school students. The camps are usually
scheduled during school vacations and last 6 days and 5
nights. They are limited in size to ensure adequate
instruction and supervision. Students of all ages
participate in extensive hikes and workshops in the
rainforest to appreciate all its wealth. Evening sessions
look into the history of the area and discuss deforestation
and other social pressures affecting the tropics.
Tropical Ecology Teachers' Programs are designed to give
hands-on experience to the active instructor who wants
personal knowledge of the tropics to complement the area
which he or she teaches. This rigorous program, which runs
two weeks, includes most course materials, requires a small
amount of pre-program reading, and assumes a basic
understanding of biology on the part of the participant.
The program spends one week on site at the Proyecto
Campanario facilities in the rainforest and another week
traveling to different areas of Costa Rica for experience
in other life zones. It is hoped that you, as a teacher,
will take back to your students the understanding of the
urgency to work together to conserve what is left of the
tropical eco-systems.
Course Format
Two course formats are offered: a two week course and a 3
week course. Credit is offered at two levels (see below):
(1) Professional Development and (2) Degree Applicable.
Academic credit is given through Lewis and Clark College in
Oregon.
New Schedule 2005 offer in June, July and August, Programs
for Teachers Professional Development: Habitats and Culture
of Costa Rica and Rainforest Conservation Camp.

for 4 semester credit hours
Habitats and Culture of Costa Rica offers an environmental
overview of present day Costa Rica that emphasizes the
natural history of its diverse landscapes as well as the
language and customs of the people. You as a student,
journey across Costa Rica’s extraordinary geography: from
coral reef to once-glaciated peaks of volcanic rock,
experiencing cloud forests, lowland rainforests, and
mangrove swamps. Along the way, you will learn about
typical menus, rural schools, and the practices of tropical
agriculture. You will receive instruction in the basics of
conversational Spanish, participate in a service project,
and investigate the flora and fauna of different
eco-systems. Your goal is to gain an understanding of Costa
Rica’s environment within a cultural context. Several days
of residence at the remote Campanario field station on the
Osa Peninsula anchor the course and provide a setting for
conducting field investigations.
Cooperating Organizations: Proyecto Campanario: A
conservation initiative in the Osa Peninsula dedicated to
protecting what remains of the lowland tropical rain
forests of the region. Campanario will be overseeing the
natural history and research component of the course.
Institute for Central American Studies (ICAS): Oversees the
Spanish language, Costa Rican history and culture, and
Central America politics component in San José.
Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education: Offers the
course for academic or professional development credit.
Habitats and Culture of Costa Rica includes: *lodging for
course duration *3 meals daily with natural beverages
*visits to different ecosystems, reserves, and localities
*entrances to all parks and excursion sites *in-country
transportation *academic program, instructors, and some
materials
