Exploring Earth Visualizations Internet Connect Science Focus Student Resources Science Focus 7 Student Resources Study tips, quizzes, and cool things to do. Science In Action 7 Hotlinks Science In Action 7 Tech IdeasGeological Outreach Activities & Teacher Resources The Dynamic Earth The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has a multimedia web site that addresses the topics of gems and minerals, rocks and mining, and plate tectonics. Topic 1 Minerals Internetconnect Topic 1 Rocks and Minerals Detectives Webquest Students use the Internet to collect clues about rocks and minerals and how they are used. Information is presented in a multimedia presentation Wikipedia List of Minerals Topic 2 Rocks and the Rock Cycle Internetconnect Topic 2 Wikipedia List of Rock Types Rock Classification This ExploreLearning Gizmo allows the user to classify virtual rock samples based on their appearance according to the common characteristics of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. The rocks may also be classified by their source in nature. Feedback is provided and data may be recorded via screen captures. The resource also includes an exploration guide and assessment questions. Rock Cycle This ExploreLearning Gizmo allows the user to explore how rock can transition from one type to another through the rock cycle. The cycle components include magma, sediments, soil, and intrusive igneous rock. Crystallization, exposure and weathering, increased temperature and pressure, melting, consolidation, and lithification and compaction are the geological processes featured in the simulation. The user selects a starting location and follows many possible paths through the cycle. The resource also includes an exploration guide and assessment questions. Interactive Rock Cycle Animation Virtual Rock Walk Take a virtual rock walk of downtown Edmonton. This Powerpoint show will assist you in learning more about the rocks and minerals used to build many of the buildings in Edmonton. Use the handout for additional information. Rock Hounds (Discover how rocks are formed) animations demonstrate how the three different kinds of rocks are formed. Interactive Rock Cycle Animation Topic 3 Erosion Internetconnect Topic 3 Topic 4 The Moving Crust Internetconnect Topic 4 Tectonics Boundaries Students identify and explain the tectonic processes occurring at divergent, convergent and transform boundaries. Apply different tectonic forces to plate boundaries. Compare the effects when plates collide, separate, or slide past each other. Investigate the causes of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes. Savage Earth Online An excellent website maintained by PBS on volcanism, earthquakes, plate tectonics and earth structure.
