Hands-On Geology: K-12 Activities and Resources.
R. Heather Macdonald and Susan G. Stover, eds. Tulsa, Okla.: SEPM [Society for Sedimentary Geology], 1991.
Recommended grade level:
4-8+.
Hands-On Geology is a collection of 23 stand-alone activities and resources on sedimentary geology. Topics covered include crystals, rocks, fossils, evolution, dinosaurs, global warming, and acid rain. Among the activities, for example, students build a quicksand model; develop a taxonomic web diagram of cars in a parking lot; learn how fossils are used in paleogeographic interpretation; investigate the types of stone used for local buildings; and use a geologic map, a soil geochemistry map, and a sediment geochemistry map to locate a copper deposit. Developed by many different geologists and educators, the activities in this volume vary somewhat in approach and detail. Each activity includes background information, a materials list, procedures, and a results-and-discussion section. The resources section lists geology suppliers; sources for curricula and supplementary materials; state geological surveys; professional geology organizations; and earth science books, films, and periodicals.
Price:
$6 (ISBN 0-918985-90-0).
Publisher/supplier:
