Saskatchewan Geological Society Outreach Resources

The Saskatchewan Geological Society (the Society) has a variety of educational resources for teachers. The resources are grouped under four headings in the table below: GeoExplore, Geoscape Saskatchewan Posters, Lesson Plans and Other Resources. Each row represents a geoscientific theme and provides links where information is available.

GeoExplore is an interactive website based on the original paper Geological Highway Map of Saskatchewan that was published in 2002. Links to GeoExplore sections are provided on the left-hand side of the table. Links to PDFs of the original map are included under Other Resources, and paper copies can be ordered using the SGS publication order form.

The Society contributed to the production of two Geoscape Saskatchewan Posters: one each for northern Saskatchewan and southern Saskatchewan. Hardcopies of the posters can be ordered through our website; they are available in English and French. The posters can be broken down into thematic panels, PDFs of which can be downloaded from the table below.

The Society has created Lesson Plans based around the Geoscape posters and the GeoExplore website. Additional Other Resources are available to supplement the Lesson Plans.
