| The spiral bound Student
Activities Teacher's Edition Book includes 327 pages of hands-on investigations designed to reinforce
concepts presented in the text. The pages are the same as the Student Activities Book except that the
teacher notes are provided in the margins in red letters and the answers to all of the
exercise problems are shown in red letters also. Note: the answers are found only in the
Teacher's Edition. Due to the fact
that the book includes more Investigations than can typically be completed in one school
year, teachers must select the ones they want to complete. To assist the teacher in making
these choices, a chart of teaching strategies has been formulated and appears in the back
of the Teacher's Edition. Teaching strategies are ways that you might utilize the
Investigations.
The activities include the following
different types of exercises:
- Match the phrase with the proper theory that
it belongs with
- Define the terms
- Fill in the blanks
- Match the name of each man with the phrases
that best describe him
- Fill in the chart with the missing information
- Demonstrate the earth's movement beneath a
Foucault pendulum
- Use Eratosthenes method to measure the
circumference of a globe
- Look at the picture and identify the name of
different devices
- True or False

This Earth Science curriculum gives
students a clear understanding of the planet on which they live by giving them a view of
the environment in which it is found. This study begins with a study of space because the
planets, stars, and all other heavenly bodies "float" in the ocean of space, and
these bodies affect one another. |
