The Florida Geological Survey maintains an active Education and
Outreach Program in keeping its mission to collect, interpret,
and provide objective quality geologic information about
Florida. Florida’s geology is unique; topics that may be
explored from this portal provide an exciting introduction to
our fascinating and fragile natural heritage. Videos available
to teachers make the sometimes unusual and often wonderful world
of Florida geology easily accessible to students. In addition,
the FGS hosts an annual Open House in celebration of Earth
Science Week that features tours of our facility and interactive
earth science activities for students from ages K-12. Home
schooling parents and their children are our special guests at
this event. The FGS also sends geologists to speak to local
schools on a staff available basis. See Resources for Teachers.
