In answer to Ben Pittenger's request for "reference books on earth
sciences for a middle school classroom or library," Lori Lambertson
suggested:
> NSTA published a good series of middle school level Earth Science
> books called Project Earth Science. The four books in the series are
> Astronomy, Physical Oceanography, Geology, and Meteorology.
If you'd like to preview these before ordering your school a set -- we've
got'em at the Learning Studio, along with many of the others that have
been mentioned (Doring Kindersley, LHS, etc). You might also want to look
at the EarthComm "It's About Time" series: Earth's dynamic geosphere,
Earth's fluid spheres, Earth's natural resources, Earth system
evolution, and Understanding your environment. Each comes with a
teachers' guide.
Oh, right, scheduling reminder: we're closed from today (staff meeting,
sorry) through Saturday, and summer hours begin Monday, 6/16: for the
duration of Teacher Institute classes, 12-3:00 Monday through Friday.
Watch Pinhole and our homepage after August 11th or so for the new
school-year regular hours -- which I ~hope~ will be expanded from what
we've had to make do with since January. (Still, that was better than
being closed..)
