hello all, The Science Education Resource Center (SERC) has an online, searchable collection of more than 2000 teaching activities for geoscience: http://serc.carleton.edu/teachearth/search.html?q1=sercvocabs__74%3A3 Of these, more than 1000 are in the "Cutting Edge" collection, which is organized by topic (climate change, data/simulations/models, field experiences, intro courses, sedimentary geology, etc.): http://serc.carleton.edu/teachearth/search.html?q1=sercvocabs__74%3A3&q2=sercmodulelist__7 and more than 600 are in the "Starting Point" collection, which is subdivided by teaching method (including field labs, teaching with data, etc.): http://serc.carleton.edu/teachearth/search.html?q1=sercvocabs__74%3A3&q2=sercmodulelist__22 From any of the search pages listed above, you can narrow your search by specific geoscience topics or other key words (for example, "Google Earth"). While this is no substitute for an existing lab curriculum, you could certainly use it to construct a curriculum that uses a healthy combination of different kinds of activities. all the best, Carol Ormand On Apr 27, 2009, at 11:34 AM, Frank Granshaw wrote: > An individual response and question... > > Like the past two respondents, we use the AGI-NAGT lab manual, > though in the past we've used Judson, Bonini, Rhodes, and > Rossbacher.
