Peg -- since no one else
has mentioned it, I will. Students of that age are often very interested
in 1) the web and 2) their own area/state. The Ohio geologic survey has a
neat web site.
I worked Ohio when
I was with the "oil patch", and the geology of Ohio is interesting, and the
oil production is mostly from Paleozoic rocks. Take a look at this site
& see if this might interest the students. It will at least give
you some background on Ohio geology. A little research project
for them to find geologic information about Ohio on the web
could be inspiring to the modern, computer-oriented student. Also, as an
aside, invertebrate paleontology is still an important field in petroleum
geology! And most of the easily obtainable fossils for students will be
invertebrate ones. You can purchase a lot of trilobites for the cost of
one "Sue"!
