Teachers can apply for free Everest science kit from Montana State University

Classrooms across Montana will have the opportunity to follow an expedition to Mount Everest this spring, interacting with the climbers and using equipment that lets them mimic the team’s scientific research.

Montana State University and Montana NSF EPSCoR are providing 10 Montana teachers with a classroom kit full of scientific equipment that correlates to the Spring 2012 expedition. The kit will include a GPS unit, geological samples and tools, weather measurement equipment, maps, books and more.

The kits http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/EverestEducationExpedition are part of the Everest Education Expedition, an effort to help classrooms and citizens around the state connect with the science of Everest and the Himalayan Mountains as several Montana climbers set out to commemorate the first American ascent of the world’s tallest mountain.

The Everest Education Expedition will be led by Bozeman resident and author Conrad Anker. MSU professor Dave Lageson will serve as the team’s field geologist.
