Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unearthing the Reference Tables is an excellent and thorough guide to the reference tables with clearly explained step-by-step examples for each table. A great tool for the Earth Science Regents!" - Mrs. Tzippy Reich, highly-acclaimed author of Earth Science Simplified and Earth Science teacher; Brooklyn, NY "The students found your book very helpful for the regents. The diagrams and information were very clear and precise." - Y. Possick, principal; Monsey, NY "Unearthing the Reference Tables is an invaluable aid in deciphering the Earth Science Reference Tables - a key part in doing well on the New York State Earth Science Regents." - F. Lipson, Earth Science teacher; Monsey, NY"A real lifesaver for me! Your book made it possible for me to pass the Earth Science Regents." - B. K., student; Brooklyn, NY Did you know that about 35-50% of every Earth Science Regents is composed of questions entirely based on the Earth Science Reference Tables? And did you know that a raw score of approximately 50% on the Earth Science Regents converts to a scale score of 65%? (with at least 9/16 lab credits) If you know how to read every table on the Earth Science Reference Tables, that's terrific. But what if you don't? Gaining a clear understanding of the reference tables is crucial for the Earth Science Regents. The good news is that one of the best-kept secrets of the Earth Science regents is that the reference tables-based questions are the easiest part of the regents by far - if you know how to use the reference tables. That's where this book comes in. Unearthing the Reference Tables: A Clear & Simple Reference Tables Guide is a book that: Gives step-by-step instructions in clear and simple terms on how to easily decipher each one of the 28 charts on the Earth Science Reference Tables Highlights important information often asked on the Earth Science Regents Provides actual regents questions at the end of each section, along with answers and brief explanations

Download or read book Earth Science and Human History 101 written by John J.W. Rogers and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-08-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much has human history been influenced by the earth and its processes? This volume in the Science 101 series describes how both slow changes and rapid, violent, ones have impacted the development of civilizations throughout history. Slow changes include variations in climate, progressive development of types of tools and sources of energy, and changes in the types of food that people consume. Violent changes include volcanic eruptions such as the one at Toba 75,000 years ago, which may have caused diversification of people into different races, and the eruption of Santorini in 1640 BC, which may have destroyed Minoan civilization. Other disasters are Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004.
Download or read book Geo Logic written by Robert Frodeman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a unified vision of geology, consisting of equal parts geo-poetry, geo-politics, geo-theology, and geo-science, Geo-Logic redraws the boundaries between philosophy and the earth sciences. Although each discipline makes crucial contributions to contemporary environmental concerns, neither will fulfill its potential until it transforms itself by engaging the other. This book offers examples of how to relate environmental philosophy to science, public policy, and real world problems, and shows what is epistemologically distinctive about scientific work and how to respond to the cultural dynamics that are pulling these issues into the public sphere. Frodeman advocates humanizing the earth sciences and bringing philosophy into the field.

Download or read book A Framework for K 12 Science Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

Download or read book New Trends in Earth Science Outreach and Engagement written by Jeanette L. Drake and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps just as perplexing as the biggest issues at the core of Earth science is the nature of communicating about nature itself. New Trends in Earth-Science Outreach and Engagement: The Nature of Communication examines the processes of communication necessary in bridging the chasm between climate change and natural hazard knowledge and public opinion and policy. At this junction of science and society, 17 chapters take a proactive and prescriptive approach to communicating with the public, the media, and policy makers about the importance of Earth science in everyday life. Book chapters come from some 40 authors who are geophysical scientists, social scientists, educators, scholars, and professionals in the field. Bringing diverse perspectives, these authors hail from universities, and research institutes, government agencies, non-profit associations, and corporations. They represent multiple disciplines, including geosciences, education, climate science education, environmental communication, and public policy. They come from across the United States and around the world. Arranged into five sections, the book looks at geosciences communication in terms of: 1) Education 2) Risk management 3) Public discourse 4) Engaging the public 5) New media From case studies and best practices to field work and innovations, experts deliver pragmatic solutions and delve into significant theories, including diffusion, argumentation, and constructivism, to name a few. Intended for environmental professionals, researchers, and educators in the geophysical and social sciences, the book emphasizes communication principles and practices within an up-to-the-minute context of new environmental issues, new technologies, and a new focus on resiliency.
