The authors of this book are a daughter-and-father team with decades of teaching experience between them, so they know how hard you work to keep up in the classroom. That's why they developed this fully revised version of Earth Science Success, specially designed to work with modern tablets. Their goal: to make teaching easier and more effective by combining best practices with new tools and standards to fit the changing times. All 55 lessons enable you to incorporate electronic tablets using teacher-tested methods. In addition, the investigations all follow the disciplinary core ideas from the Next Generation Science Standards. Through these investigations, students become actively involved in the discovery process, from anticipation to evidence collection to analysis. The emphasis is on hands-on, sequential experiences through which students explore science concepts lab by lab while also developing critical-thinking skills. Topics include astronomy, geology, meteorology, and environmental impacts. With a full year of Earth science lessons right at hand, you'll soon think of this valuable book as your survival guide for the tablet age.
