REVIEW:
The Science Education Resource Center (SERC) with financial support from the National Science Foundation presents this portal for educators who teach geo-science. Hundreds of teaching activities are available including visualizations, data sets and models, lab activities, projects, virtual field trips and writing assignments. Topics for the activities include atmosphere, biosphere, climate, earth surface, energy/material cycles, ocean, solar system, earth history and more. Teachers may also want to check out the section on methods that includes a number of teaching methods, including examples, for teaching earth science. Of course these strategies such as cooperative learning, gallery walk and others could also be used effectively to teach in other subject areas. Additionally there is information on using data and teaching quantitative skills.
