Welcome to the great state of Virginia! Virginia is a very historical
state, having born 8 presidents and where many famous Civil War battles
were fought. Although history is an important part of Virginia, the most
impressive feature of this state may well be in the diversity of
its geology. You may travel from the Allegheny Plateau, with all of its
rich sources of coal and petroleum, to the Coastal section where you may
discover whale and shark fossils as you fish for shad in the Potomac River.
What is really great is the fact you can discover all of this in one day!
I wouldn't recommend doing that though. You would miss out on too many
of the great details. What I have proposed in this webpage are two field
studies. The first one is a field study that is directed toward 7th or
8th grade students and can be accomplished in one day. The other is a week
long field study for teachers that will take them on a journey from the
hills of this state to the great waters of the Chesapeake Bay. So, get
your sunscreen, bugspray, and water bottles and join in the adventure!
