Two years ago I participated in the State level Envirothon, the annual environmental-science knowledge competition (I presented material on karst geomorphology and biospeleology). At least some high school students are exposed to some science. I'd like to take this opportunity to pass onto you a <b>tag</b>--you thought this pandemic of blogplay had passed?

One had intro geology for non-majors. I thought that was pretty close to worthless. The other school offered "natural science" to hard-core accounting majors, gym majors, and their ilk (a lot of non-geology majors took intro geology there). That closely resembled what I considered to be sixth-grade general science. I was a lab/teaching assistant for intro geology at 2 different schools. One had intro geology for non-majors.
