This was intended for use by 3rd grade students. Students can use this resource by itself without assistance. It includes tutorials on the topic and questions for the students to complete to check their understanding as they work. There are links to videos, games, additional sites for further explanation and information, if needed. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=736161 A simple description of volcano and how it erupt http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=635279 This is a StAIR project for Earth Science Review. This particular StAIR (Stand-Alone Instructional Resources) covers Earth Science chapter review on Fossils, Relative Age, Radioactive Dating, Geologic Time Scale and Mass Extinction for Middle School age students. The Stair directs the student to the definition of each term; explains the term and finally presents a short video clip about that term. The student is then directed to take a quiz on that term before being directed back to the list of other terms available in the chapter. The StAIR was produced with PowerPoint and can be run in Kiosk mode for students to run interactively. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=543236 Introduction to Igneous Rocks.

Learn how to make discerning use of the Internet to help find information for your coursework and assignments.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=518401 This is 'an explanation of how the local geology of central PA relates to that of the Colorado Rockies and the Alaskan tundra. Dozens of “in-the-field” videos just like this enable students to “accompany” Drs. Alley and Sridhar Anandakrishnan on a kind of virtual field trip through the U.S. National Parks, as well as various other local and regional points of geologic importance, in order to gain a deeper understanding of their planet and Earth systems.' http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=362696 Activity that helps illustrate plate tectonics. Students cut out plate boundaries & use fossil evidence to show how & where plates position may have been in the past. Can be modified to fit any grade level. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=309424 This is a game that can be used to demonstrate how we can avoid emitting carbon into the atmosphere and help avoid dramatic climate change.
