In this activity, students will briefly examine 10 fields/disciplines of Geology: hydrology, volcanology, mineralogy, paleontology, stratigraphy, seismology, petrology, geomorphology, geochemistry, and crystallography. They will pick one of those disciplines that they find interesting and find a job description in that field. Students will also find a salary range and what type of education they would need in order to obtain that salary. When students are finished, they should have an idea that there are money and great careers as a scientist in the field of Geology.

EarthScience.xyz is a website that teaches earth science to students.  It is a step-by-step book containing all the information needed to learn about the Earth.  Teachers can have access to all the labs and assignments that are taught at Snowflake High School.  There are tons of high-quality graphics, animation, and videos that will make presenting geology, meteorology, oceanography, paleontology, and astronomy to students engaging and fun.

Bill Nye said that the Joy of Discovery is awesome.  It is the joy of discovery that makes every human being a scientist.  We explore, test, hypothesize ,and form conclusions.  Watch this video with your students to see if they agree with what was said.  The images and videos attached to this video are beautiful.

The Chelyabinsk Meteor was an awesome event that occurred in Russia.  This video explains the ins and outs of this meteorite impact.

At the beginning of science courses, usually, the scientific method is taught. My high school students have to demonstrate their knowledge of the scientific processes and especially show an understanding of data collection, variables, and conclusions. This document contains the rubric I use to grade their assignment as well as the student instructions that I give. This is in a Google doc so that you can edit the instructions or manipulate the rubric.

This file includes all of the assignments, instructions, lab notes, labs, worksheets, and presentations to teach the first chapter of Earth science. Students will get the opportunity to explore the scientific method through both hands-on and digital labs.

Included are:

1 presentation in both PowerPoint and Google Doc

5 Earth Science both digital and hands-on labs

Vocabulary words included on the test

3 ways of integrating technology

All of the worksheets and instructions for the labs and assignments.
