Annotation of: Soil Liquefaction
No full textThis resource is used in the Living in Earthquake Country Teaching Box, Lesson 6. It is used as teacher background to provide general information about soil liquefaction. The resource being annotated is: http://www.dlese.org/dds/catalog_DLESE-000-000-008-812.htm
Annotation of: Map of Recent Earthquake Activity in California-Nevada
No full textThis resource is used in the Living in Earthquake Country Teaching Box, Lesson 2: "Faults are at Fault: Where Earthquakes Occur". It is used at the conclusion of the lesson to confirm students' findings that earthquake localities are associated with faults. The resource being annotated is: http://www.dlese.org/dds/catalog_DLESE-000-000-008-817.htm
Annotation of: Earth Like a Puzzle
No full textThis resource is used in the Evidence for Plate Tectonics Teaching Box Lesson 4, Activity 1: "Fossil distribution as evidence for plate tectonics: Tying it all together". It is used as a reference for students to check their work and as a source of pictures for the teacher. It is also used in Lesson 4, Activity 2: "Fossil distribution as evidence for plate tectonics: Tying it all together". It is used for students to compare the placement of the continents on the web page with the paper and pencil map they created in the previous activity. The resource being annotated is: http://www.dlese.org/dds/catalog_DLESE-000-000-009-456.htm
Math Standards for Correlation of Variables by Graphing
No full textThis resource supports math standards for grades 6-10 in the topics of data analysis and probability. These assignments are based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards.
Math Standards for Comparing Graphs of Temperature and Radiation
No full textThis resource supports math standards for grades 6-8 in the topics of connections, and data analysis and probability. These assignments are based on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards.
Virginia Standards for Sailing Trip
No full textThis resource supports math and science standards for grades 3-5. This assignment is based on the Virginia Standards of Learning Math3.9: The student will recall the multiplication and division facts through the nines table. Math3.10: The student will represent multiplication and division, using area and set models, and create and solve problems that involve multiplication of two whole numbers, one factor 99 or less and the second factor 5 or less. Math4.7: The student will find the product of two whole numbers when one factor has two digits or fewer and the other factor has three digits or fewer, using estimation and paper and pencil. For larger products (a two-digit numeral times a three-digit numeral), estimation and calculators will be used. Math5.3: The student will create and solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, using paper and pencil, estimation, mental computation, and calculators. Math5.4: The student will find the sum, difference, and product of two numbers expressed as decimals through thousandths, using an appropriate method of calculation, including paper and pencil, estimation, mental computation, and calculators. Math5.5: The student, given a dividend of four digits or fewer and a divisor of two digits or fewer, will find the quotient and remainder. Math5.6: The student, given a dividend expressed as a decimal through thousandths and a single-digit divisor, will find the quotient. Sci3.8: The student will investigate and understand basic patterns and cycles occurring in nature. Key concepts include patterns of natural events (day and night, seasonal changes, phases of the moon, and tides), and animal and plant life cycles. Sci4.6: The student will investigate and understand how weather conditions and phenomena occur and can be predicted. Sci5.6: The student will investigate and understand characteristics of the ocean environment b) physical characteristics (depth, salinity, major currents).
Virginia Standards for Comparing Graphs of Temperature and Radiation
No full textThis resource supports science standards for grades 6-8. This assignment is based on the Virginia Standards of Learning ES.3: The student will investigate and understand how to read and interpret maps, globes, models, charts, and imagery. ES.11c: The student will investigate and understand that oceans are complex, interactive physical, chemical, and biological systems and are subject to long- and short-term variations. Key concepts include systems interactions (density differences, energy transfer, weather, and climate). PS.7: The student will investigate and understand temperature scales, heat, and heat transfer. Key concepts include Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales and absolute zero. PS.9: The student will investigate and understand the nature and technological applications of light. Sci6.1: The student will plan and conduct investigations in which c) precise and approximate measurements are recorded; h) data are collected, recorded, analyzed, and reported using appropriate metric measurements; and i) data are organized and communicated through graphical representation (graphs, charts, and diagrams). Sci6.3: The student will investigate and understand the role of solar energy in driving most natural processes within the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and on the Earth's surface. Sci6.5: The student will investigate and understand the unique properties and characteristics of water and its roles in the natural and human-made environment.
