The Project Earth Science series consists of 4 volumes for students in middle and junior high school. The central theme of the series is the uniqueness of the earth among the planets in the solar system. Among the activities in the unit, students conduct an experiment to determine the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere. The set of 10 background readings elaborates on concepts presented in the activities. Included are topics such as smog, acid rain, and mechanisms of severe weather.
Meteorology includes student pages that can be duplicated, and a teacher's guide.
The student pages contain background information, directions, and a set of questions to guide the students as they draw conclusions. The teacher's section contains more detailed background information, preparation tips, and suggestions for interdisciplinary study and extensions. An annotated bibliography is also provided.
