Teaching Tip on 'Fundamentals of Physical Geography'
No full textThe page on uniformitarianism contains (what I consider) a misprint - Lyell didn't prove Hutton's theory, he contributed strong supportive evidence which in effect disproved catastrophism. This is an important clarification, as for science to "prove" something is, to the best my understanding, impossible. This concept is directly related to the clarifications that I make with my students concerning the acceptance of scientific evidence(not "proof") for a scientific theory, versus "belief" in a theory.

Teaching Tip on 'Types of Clouds'

This could, however, be used for student access to the many different clouds if they were required to research a particular form for a class project. The definitions were clear and concise.

Teaching Tip on 'Introduction to the Atmosphere'
No full textThis resource was interesting and it gave me a better understanding of the atmospheric layers. I think it's simple and to the point, and users are able to understand the facts about atmospheric layers and how our atmosphere works. It's not a lengthy explanation and does not bore the user. I would like to see more animations of topics that the website is trying to explain, such as the wavelengths of solar radiation.

This shows what can be achieved when professionals work together to help educate students.
