Teaching Tip on 'Water: A Never-Ending Story'
No full textThis resource would be best for teachers to use to find activites and lessons. Some of the activities could lend themselves to learning centers once the students have a fundamental knowledge of the water cycle.
Teaching Tip on 'Water Treatment Process'
No full textThis website matches fourth grade Minnesota Science Standards for the water cycle. The site includes plenty of interactive activities and games which incorporate all aspects of the water cycle; naturally, from "The Water Cycle at Work", to "The Water Treatment Cycle". Also included in this site is a word search en Espanol. This is a great way to integrate students who are learning English as a second language by strengthening their first language at the same time. This is a wonderful website full of excellent, interesting and supplementary resources for educators.
Teaching Tip on 'Planetary Science Research Discoveries (PSRD) Archive'
No full textAll science teachers should read PSRD regularly and also have their students look at PSRD articles and discuss their contents on a regular basis; this will show the students that space exploration is still relevant and exciting today, an important point to make in light of the recent Shuttle tragedy.
Teaching Tip on 'Life Has A History'
No full textI recommend showing students how to use the action buttons, and that they may go slowly through the animation using the "step" buttons.
Teaching Tip on 'The Nine Planets: A Multimedia Tour of the Solar System'
No full textThis resource is easy to look at, but it seems to be boring and you learn facts that people should already know.
Teaching Tip on 'USGS: General Interest Publications - Earthquakes (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)'
No full textMake sure to take time to read everything rather than rushing through it. If you use it correctly, then it will be the most useful.
Teaching Tip on 'Discovering Plate Boundaries'
No full textMy students were not clear about that they were to make each boundary of a compound type. They wanted to make a volcano type boundary separate from an earthquake boundary - lines drawn side-by-side. It would have helped to show them example maps, but that would have defeated the purpose. I will make those directions clearer the next time.
Teaching Tip on 'The Animated Virtual Planetarium'
No full textThis is a good resource for good to average students. It makes for a nice review of concepts taught in class. It could be used to introduce many ideas as a projected source - then have students explore on their own.
Information on challenging teaching and learning situations for 'Virtual Courseware: Virtual Earthquake'
No full textThe resource being annotated is: http://www.dlese.org/dds/catalog_DLESE-000-000-000-050.htm
Teaching Tip on 'Global Climate Animations'
No full textThe resources at this site are just animations, which is exactly what I was looking for to use in my geography and geology classes. Clear, conscise animation about aspects of global climate.
