Geology Workshop for Teachers: Hayward Fault

Over the last million years, the natural beauty of Fremont has been shaped by the Hayward Fault. This teacher workshop will start at Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon Wetland Center and include a walk to the Fremont Earthquake Exhibit in Central Park. Discover the "fault creep" and off sets as we walk along the Hayward fault and explore the dramatic faulting effects in both a natural and urban environment.  Learn how we use the measureable movements to incorporate into lesson plans.

Both these facilities are part Fremont Learning Corridor that trace the Hayward Fault from Fremont to Union City. The Math Science Nucleus offers a host of field trips in this area.  Lesson plans on the geology and natural history along the Hayward Fault (and correlated to the Next Generation Science Standard) will be illustrated.

Registration required, limited to 30 teachers
