2021 MESTA CONFERENCE has been cancelled 

The MESTA Board of Directors has decided to postpone the MESTA conference that was planned for Friday, February 5, 2021 until 2022 due to COVID-19.
 
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.
 
We are hopeful that we can all meet in person in 2022. Look for details about the 2022 conference next fall.

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. Unfortunately, recent events have forced the List-serve to close. We are working on creating a new email program, similar to the past list-serve. 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 Erik Tvedten at etvedten@isd622.org. The resources will be posted on this page. No copies from lab manuals or textbooks, please!
