Earth, The

The Earth: Its Structure & Its ChangesåÊis a study of the fascinating world of geology. With explanations of how our Earth was shaped, this elementary science curriculum gives evidence to the Genesis Flood, accompanying earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other powerful processes. Students will explore 20 "investigations" through experiments and a very specific learning progression. The Investigate the Possibilities learning progression: Engage - Students make a note of what they know or have experienced about the topic. Investigate - Students will follow the instructions and make observations of what happens. Explain - Students will begin to understand the science behind what they observed in the investigation. Apply - Here, the understanding of the investigation is related to other situations and ideas. Expand -Each investigation also includes a few "Dig Deeper" projects to further understanding. Assess- Students explain what they have learned. Students will examine natural occurrences such as mountains, volcanoes, rocks, minerals, crystals, water, and dirt (just to name a few). By using household items such as hard boiled eggs, oranges, measuring cups, maps, clay and markers, these scientific truths will come to life. This title contains a full circle view of geology, creation, and history. All three of these topics are combined to create the big picture for your student and develop a stronger root in their faith. Also available is the combined teacher's guide and student journal. While geology is at the heart of this newest book in the Investigate the Possibilities series, other titles within this series include: Forces & Motion, Matter, and Energy. These are perfect for elementary education, grades 3rd-6th.
