Earth Science for Secondary Schools consists of teacher-reproducible masters for 66 lessons. Included are lab guides for 36 hands-on activities in geology, astronomy, measurement and weather. The other 30 lessons are supplemental readings and worksheets that provide continuity. In all, there are 140 pages of reproducible masters.The 80 page teacher handbook includes teaching hints and suggests possible responses for students' interpretations. We believe that hands-on activities are the basis for any effective science course. Our lab work uses simple and inexpensive materials. The thought processes that ensue are sophisticated and lead students toward construction of their own conclusions. The materials have been used successfully in grades 7 - 12. The author, Bob Swift, taught science and math at grade levels 6-12 for more than twenty years. He is currently Adjunct Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Northern Arizona University. Cost of the set is SouthWest Geo-Ed.

Other pages on this site How to do it Note: if you are looking for science fair or science project areas, this set of Web pages may help you with ideas for techniques you might use: read with a prepared mind! Alternatively, look at the projects collection which is part of this series. Salty sand or sandy salt? You will need some samples of sand, taken from different parts of a surf beach: near the water's edge, right up to the very back of the beach. Collect the sand when there has been no rain for a week or two, so that salt spray has had a chance to "salt" the upper levels. Use standard coffee jars or something else, so that you get the same quantity of sand. You will also need access to a fairly sensitive balance how you find your way to one of these is up to you. If you cannot get a balance, you will need to modify this, and make eyeball estimates of the salt from each sample. Dry and weigh your samples of sand, then wash and filter the sand carefully to dissolve out any salt, dry the sand again, and weigh it to find out how much salt you have washed out. As a check, crystallise the salt and weigh it.

Stover and R. Heather Macdonald, eds. Tulsa, Okla.: SEPM [Society for Sedimentary Geology], 1993. Recommended grade level: On the Rocks is a collection of 50 earth science demonstrations, activities, and investigations. The activities are intended for a varied audiencefor those new to teaching earth science, for experienced teachers seeking new ideas or approaches, and for geologists visiting the classroom. The activities are grouped under 7 major topics: (1) rocks and minerals; (2) soils, volcanoes, and earthquakes; (3) water; (4) fossils; (5) maps and map making; (6) science basics; and (7) geology, society, and the environment. Among the activities in On the Rocks, students simulate the formation of sedimentary rocks.They observe how and why ground liquefaction occurs during earthquakes. They create a musical play based on their knowledge of dinosaurs. Students also use a model to see how and why groundwater moves through aquifers; they make a 3-dimensional model of a landscape and relate the model to a topographic map; and they explore the many different ways petroleum is used in modern society, learning about advantages and disadvantages of its use.

Science Experiments, Book 2. Tammy K. Williams. Lewistown, Mo.: Mark Twain Media, 1995. Recommended grade level: Science Experiments: Earth Science offers 44 stand-alone activities that introduce students to a wide variety of topics in the earth sciences, focusing on geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. For example, students evaporate the water from a saltwater solution at different rates to observe the crystal sizes, and they investigate how adding salt to water affects the boiling point, freezing point, and rate of temperature change of water. They use P- and S-wave data to plot earthquake epicenters. They investigate which colors absorb more radiant energy, and they practice estimating the altitude of different objects using a "quadrant." Science Experiments: Earth Science is printed on reproducible, tear-out student sheets. These sheets include a stated objective, directions for the activity, data charts, and questions to guide student work. The book contains an answer key for the astronomy questions, but no teacher pages or background information is provided. Price: Publisher/supplier: Carson-Dellosa.

Earth Science Activities That Sinking Feeling That Sinking Feeling Objectives: Students will: - analyze satellite imagery of Central Florida - compare and contrast geologic differences over a twenty year period - assess the role of water's impact on the local geologic features Materials: computers with internet access map of Florida access to USGS - Earthshots: Orlando Change Background: What does water quality have to do with rocks and the development of Central Florida? More than the average person might think. This activity will guide students to the understanding that there is a significant link between water quality and the geologic features of Florida. Chemical sedimentary rocks form when minerals are precipitated from a solution or are left behind when a solution evaporates. Deposits of minerals that precipitate out of solution, or remain after evaporation, form rocks. Calcium carbonate is a compound that is carried in solution in ocean water. When the calcium carbonate precipitates out of solution as calcite, many crystals grow together and form the chemical sedimentary rock known as limestone. Limestone may also contain other minerals and sediments, but it is comprised of at least 50 percent calcite. Limestone is usually deposited on sea or ocean floors. Large areas of the United States, including Florida, are underlain by limestone because oceans once covered much of the country for millions of years.
