Our exciting new earth science activities require students to think like scientists as they work with maps, manipulatives and technology applications to draw evidence for plate tectonics. Students also map earthquakes on real time and generate computer models of volcanoes formed under different conditions. They test minerals using standard procedures followed by geologists in the field. Students construct and analyze topography maps using models and compare them to satellite images. The activities are designed to cover standards in grades 6 - 8 and can be modified for high school level Earth and Space Science.
