We had a blast covering the @MUSICAscience trip for @CarnegiePlanets (AND I saw a tumbleweed tumbling for the first time. #LifeGoals)
A million thanks to @KatyCain526 and @DCScienceFan for their excellent coverage of our @MUSICAscience adventures this past week!

Learning begins when we realize how much we don’t know. At which point, a hammer fixes everything! Thank you @MUSICAscience @Seismo_Lara and @AndesTectonics for a wonderful week of professional development. I’m excited to creating new engaging lessons plans in phase 2.
Emily Dickinson once wrote: “The brain is wider than the sky.” So true when analyzing the sediment structure of the Grand Canyon! Thankful to better understand and teach the processes that created this fierce but magical view! @MUSICAscience @AndesTectonics & @Seismo_Lara

Replying to @akaysci
@akaysci @LuceroPhysics It was so nice meeting you both! I enjoyed listening to your questions learning from your experiences. Cheers to continued professional growth and development @MUSICAscience with @Seismo_Lara & @AndesTectonics.

What a phenomenal week of professional development for plate tectonics, sedimentation, volcanoes and fractionation of magma. Learned so much this week! Can't wait to design lesson plans and implement for my kids next school year. #sciencerocks #txscienceteacher
We had an incredible week with our MUSICA teachers. Thanks to their great questions, good spirits, and hard work. Next up: lesson planning!!

Which led the seismologists and experimental petrologists in the room to groan collectively.
Sedimentary rocks are the direct lifeline to understanding the history of "the most important part" of our planet--its surface, says @AndesTectonics, describing his work.

Many thanks to @AlyJWeinberger for providing on-the-spot details to explain early planetary formation processes!
.@Seismo_Lara talks to our MUSICA teachers about the process by which Earth accreted from material surrounding our young Sun and then, eventually, differentiated into layers--core, mantle, and crust.

As different minerals precipitate out of magma as it cools, the geochemistry of our magma changes. #scienceisfun #txscience
As the geochemistry of our candy magma chamber changes, we start to see certain colors of M&M and Skittles start to dominate.

Counting M&Ms to study fractional crystalization of magma with the @MUSICAscience teachers and the scientists at @ASU (@this_life, @goltSZ). Can't wait to see how the teachers incorporate geochemistry into their own lesson plans!
Four, four forsterites ... ah-ah-ah!! 🌩 🧛🦇

Trying to hid behind a van in a thunderstorm: 100% recommend for fun. Not recommended for shelter.😂.. our volcanology lesson got cut short, but this was fun!😁 #scienceteachers #MUSICAscience
Field lesson #3289. Stop class in the event of a ⛈️ sudden thunderstorm ⛈️. Safety first!

Yesterday, we turned the #GrandCanyon into a classroom during the @MUSICAscience Teacher Workshop! #ItsSedimentaryMyDear
Amazing to get to work with excellent educators and scientists. My excitement cannot be quantified. Can't wait to develop more in depth plate tectonics lessons for my students next year! #ScienceResearch #researchexperienceforteachers
Meet the six teachers who are coming with us to the @MUSICAscience workshop this week! epl.carnegiescience.edu/news…

We're sending @CarnegiePlanets Communications Coordinator, @KatyCain526, to join the MUSICA team in Arizona. She’ll be updating the @MUSICAscience Twitter account with stories and pictures from the field, so stay tuned!
This week, @CarnegiePlanets' Lara Wagner (@Seismo_Lara) and her collaborators Christy Till (@this_life) and Brian Horton (@AndesTectonics) are taking 6 teachers to Arizona to get hands-on experience in geoscience as a part of the @MUSICAscience project. epl.carnegiescience.edu/news…
We’re finally here! After two years of delays and lots of planning, I’m so excited to get going!!!
