Howdy

My name is Jason Palmer and I will be your online Earth science teacher. I am married and currently have two daughters. I have many interests and am licensed to teach physics, chemistry, and general science. In this day and age it's good to be a life long learner. As part of Oregon Online I am always learning new things and gaining knowledge about technology and Earth science. I enjoy teaching this class and I hope that you will also find my course interesting and informative. As technology increases so does our understanding of our planet Earth some people may think that Earth science is about rocks but it is a whole lot more. One of the main goals of this course is to show you fields of study that can lead to careers in Earth science. In today's global economy, weather and climate have a major influence on today's society. If you have any questions about career options or what you could do as a career in Earth science don't hesitate to contact me through email. You can email me at the following link: PalmerJ

A picture of my daughters and I, my wife and I are Christians we live in Heppner, Oregon. I teach a class in the same room that I took classes when I was in high school. I graduated from the University of Colorado, at Boulder. In college I majored in aerospace engineering. So you can say that you are taking your Earth science class from a rocket scientist.

My Interests

One of my interests is World War II aircraft. One of my favorites is the Republic P-47D Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt wasn't the most glamorous aircraft but was the heaviest single engine aircraft for the United States, the most produced aircraft in numbers, and was the able to withstand the most damage and still bring its pilots home to fight again. The last characteristic is the reason it is one of my favorites it may have had some disadvantages when compared to other aircraft but it was able to withstand a lot of beating but was always able to return its pilot home so that he could fight again. That tenacious attitude can be beneficial in an online class, because you will need to battle the internet and technology sometimes but if you are tenacious and continue to work on it you eventually will be victorious.
