Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it time to refresh the way you think about teaching Earth science? Learning to Read the Earth and Sky is the multifaceted resource you need to bring authentic science—and enthusiasm—into your classroom. It offers inspiration for reaching beyond prepared curricula, engaging in discovery along with your students, and using your lessons to support the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The book provides • examples of Earth science labs and activities you and your students can do as co-investigators; • insights into student expectations and misconceptions, plus ideas for inspiring true investigation; • stories of real scientific discovery translated for classroom consideration; • exploration of how you can mentor students as a teacher-scholar; and • guidance on how to translate the sweeping core ideas of the NGSS into specific examples students can touch, see, and experience. The authors of Learning to Read the Earth and Sky are husband-and-wife educators who promote science as something to figure out, not just something to know. They write, “It is our hope that readers will find our book short on ‘edu-speak,’ long on the joy of doing science, and full of stories of students, classrooms, scientists, and Earth and sky.”

Download or read book General Science 1 Survey of Earth and Sky Teacher Guide written by and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four titles from the best-selling Wonders of Creation Series are combined for a full year of study. The focus of the course delves into oceans, astronomy, weather, and mineral, all helping the student form a solid, biblical worldview. Combined with the teacher guide, you will have a detailed calendar for each week of study, reproducible worksheets, quizzes and tests, and answers keys to help grade all assignments. General Science I Course Description This is the suggested course sequence that allows two core areas of science to be studied per semester. You can change the sequence of the semesters per the needs or interests of your student; materials within each semester are independent of one another to allow flexibility. Quarter 1: Ocean The oceans may well be Earth’s final frontier. These dark and sometimes mysterious waters cover 71 percent of the surface area of the globe and have yet to be fully explored. Under the waves, a watery world of frail splendor, foreboding creatures, vast mountains, and sights beyond imagination awaits. Now this powerful resource has been developed for three educational levels! Learning about the oceans and their hidden worlds can be exciting and rewarding — the abundance and diversity of life, the wealth of resources, the latest discoveries, and the simple mysteries that have intrigued explorers and scientists for centuries. A better understanding of our oceans ensures careful stewardship of their grandeur and beauty for future generations, and leads to a deeper respect for the delicate balance of life on that God created on planet Earth. Quarter 2: Astronomy The universe is an amazing declaration of the glory and power of God! Beautiful and breathtaking in its scale, the vast expanse of the universe is one that we struggle to study, understand, or even comprehend in terms of its purpose and size. Now take an incredible look at the mysteries and marvels of space in The New Astronomy Book! If you watch the stars at night, you will see how they change. This speaks to the enormity and intricacy of design in the universe. While the stars appear timeless, they instead reflect an all–powerful Creator who speaks of them in the Bible. Many ancient pagan cultures taught that the changing stars caused the seasons to change, but unlike these pagan teachings, the Book of Job gives credit to God for both changing stars and seasons (Job 38:31-33). When Job looked at Orion, he saw about what we see today, even though he may have lived as much as 4,000 years ago. Quarter 3: Weather From the practical to the pretty amazing, this book gives essential details into understanding what weather is, how it works, and how other forces that impact on it. Learn why storm chasers and hurricane hunters do what they do and how they are helping to solve storm connected mysteries. Discover what makes winter storms both beautiful and deadly, as well as what is behind weather phenomena like St. Elmo’s Fire. Find important information on climate history and answers to the modern questions of supposed climate change. Get safety tips for preventing dangerous weather related injuries like those from lightning strikes, uncover why thunderstorms form, as well as what we know about the mechanics of a tornado and other extreme weather examples like flash floods, hurricanes and more. A fresh and compelling look at wild and awesome examples of weather in this revised and updated book in the Wonders of Creation series! Quarter 4: Mineral Minerals are a gift of God’s grace. Every day we touch them, seeing the diamond in an engagement ring or a copper chain with a cross on it. Minerals are touched on in video games like Minecraft® and Mineral ValleyTM, making them more a part of our daily experience. Salt, one vital mineral, helps maintain the fluid in our blood cells and is used to transmit information in our nerves and muscles. Also, Jesus told his followers that we are the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13), something thus needed for health and flavor. Here is a God-honoring book that reveals the first mention of minerals in the Bible, symbolic usages, their current values in culture and society, and their mention in heaven.

Download or read book Exploring the Moon written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHEN ASTRONAUTS dug into the Moon's surface during the Apollo program, they were doing more than digging up dry, dark sediment. They were time travelers. The rocks and sediment returned by Apollo contain vital clues to how Earth and the Moon formed, the nature and timing of early melting, the intensity of impact bombardment and its variation with time, and even the history of the Sun. Most of this information, crucial parts of the story of planet Earth, cannot be learned by studying rocks on Earth because our planet is so geologically active that it has erased much of the record. The clues have been lost in billions of years of mountain building, volcanism, weathering, and erosion. Colliding tectonic plates and falling rain have erased much of Earth history, especially the early years before four billion years ago. The Moon was geologically active in its heyday, producing a fascinating array of products, but its geologic engine was not vigorous and all records of early events were not lost. Its secrets are recorded in its craters, plains, and rocks. This guide reveals the secrets that lunar scientists have uncovered since the Apollo missions returned 382 kilograms (843 pounds) of rock and sediment from the lovely body that graces the night sky. The emphasis here is on geology. The samples returned by Apollo are the stars of the show. [See the "Lunar Disk" activity on Pages 39-42 and the "Apollo Landing Sites" activity on Pages 43-46.] Understanding the Moon, however, requires other geological approaches, such as geological mapping from high-quality photographs, the study of analogous features on Earth (for instance, impact craters), and experiments in laboratories.
