A Sedimentary Geologists' Guide to Helping K-12 Earth Science Teachers: Hints, Ideas, Activities and Resources.
Molly F. Miller, R. Heather Macdonald, Linda E. Okland, and others, eds. Tulsa, Okla.: SEPM [Society for Sedimentary Geology], 1990.
Recommended grade level:
K-8+. A Sedimentary Geologists' Guide to Helping K-12 Earth Science Teachers was written to help sedimentary geologists become more involved in earth science education, but it contains many ideas useful for middle school science teachers. Included are 20 classroom activities, suggestions for field trips, hints for successful class visits by professional geologists, and resources.
Classroom activity ideas, which focus on sedimentary geology, include determining the roundness of sedimentary grains, making a quicksand model, identifying the composition of rocks used in local buildings, and modeling geologic time. Several ideas for larger-scale educational activities are also given, such as panning for gold and magnetite or measuring longshore currents.
Gathered from many geologists and educators, the activities in this volume vary somewhat in approach and detail. Each activity includes a specified grade level, a list of materials, procedures, and a section on expected results. The resource section lists suppliers, sources for geology curricula and supplementary materials, and national geology and science organizations.
