​2024 MESTA CONFERENCE is scheduled for Friday 2/2/2024!

Registration is Now available on the 2024 MESTA Conference tab

Did you know that a Minnesota teacher licensed in grades 9-12 or 7-12 in Chemistry, Physics, Life Science, or Earth and Space Science may add an additional 9-12 science licensure field by taking the Minnesota Teacher Licensure Exams (MTLEs)?!
Please use the following LINK to learn more about this excellent opportunity!
 
To support our members, MESTA will continue to promote professional development opportunities through the use of our listserv (mestalistserv@mnearthscience.org) and will encourage robust conversation about Earth science education in Minnesota.
 
You can be part of Earth science conversations by sending an email to nearly 300 Earth science educators in Minnesota at mestalistserv@mnearthscience.org or follow MESTA on Twitter at @Mesta_org.

MESTA List-serve

Teacher Resources

The MESTA List-serve has been a great way to collaborate with other earth science teachers, keep up to date with current science information and get valuable lesson plans, websites and ideas. If you are interested in joining the email list, please send an email to Kate Rosak at ​Kate.Rosok@mpls.k12.mn.us  with "Join MESTA List-serve" in the subject line.

MESTA is compiling a set of teacher resources that can be used by others. If you have a favorite earth science lesson, cartoon or a valuable lesson that you use with your students, please send it to Sarah Niemeyer at sniemeyer@wkfalcons.org.
​The resources will be posted on this page. No copies from lab manuals or textbooks, please!
