Description
(From the MaineLearns Archives)
Here is collection of on-line resources and professional development opportunities for science teachers interested in using data in the classroom and teaching with data, models, and simulations.
The Earth Exploration Toolbook is a collection of computer-based Earth science activities that introduces one or more data sets, and an analysis tool that enables users to explore some aspect of the Earth system.
Step-by-step instructions in each chapter walk users through an example — a case study in which they access data and use analysis tools to explore issues or concepts in Earth system science. In the course of completing a chapter, users produce and analyze maps, graphs, images, or other data products. The ultimate goal of each activity is to build user's skills and confidence so they can use data to conduct their own investigations of the Earth system.
