oa A Slide Show To Cultivate An Interest In Geophysics In School Children

In order to make school children more aware of geophysics as an<br>occupation a slide show was prepared on behalf of SAGA that consists<br>of humoristic cartoons and real life situations that explain geophysics as<br>a science and also as a rewarding career. The duration of the slide<br>sequence Is 20 minutes and is available in both official languages. The<br>approach of intermingling cartoons with slides depicting real<br>geophysics at work was chosen to keep the attention of children and to<br>counter the traditional negative view school children have about the<br>natural sciences (See SACN March 1989 first article).
