Hi Ann,

How are you? I took a look at your (free!) course material...and I plan to use some of it to jazz-up my own moon activity. Thanks-

Elizabeth

Hi Buffy,

For the lecture part of the course, I suggest taking a look at The Good Earth: Introduction to Earth Science, by McConnell and others.

For the lab, you may wish to check out my (free!) course packet designed for a college-level earth science course for future elementary school teachers. It is available at http://serc.carleton.edu/teacherprep/courses/CSUC-EarthSpace.html under Teaching Materials. It features a variety of constructivist hands-on lab activities.

Hi there,
I'm going to be teaching a geology class for 9-12 grade girls next 
year. Does anyone know of an age-appropriate text I could use? Hands-
on, constructivist approach definitely preferred! (And quick! Texts 
have to be chosen by next week!)
Thanks
