What’s New About EarthComm 2nd Edition? Greater emphasis on Earth system science Engineering Design Cycle GeoLog Connections to Other Sciences

Table of Contents Nature of Science Chapter 1 Astronomy Chapter 2 Plate Tectonics Chapter 3 Minerals, Rocks, and Structures Chapter 4 Surface Processes Chapter 5 Winds, Oceans, Weather and Climate Chapter 6 Global Climate Change Chapter 7 Earth’s Natural Resources Chapter 8 Earth System Evolution

Components Getting Started Scenario Chapter Challenge Assessment Criteria Engineering Design Cycle Earth/Space Science Corner What Do You See? Think About It

Components Investigate Digging Deeper Think About It Again Reflecting on the Section and the Challenge Understanding and Applying Inquiring Further Chapter Mini-Challenge Earth/Space Science You Learned

Components Earth/Space Science Chapter Challenge Earth/Space Science Connections to Other Sciences Extending the Connection Earth/Space Science At Work Earth/Space Science Practice Test

Chapter Challenges Ch. 1: Astronomy: Podcast Script Ch. 2: Plate Tectonics: Game Design Ch. 3: Minerals, etc.: Museum Exhibit Design Ch. 4: Surface Processes: Olympic Games Site Analysis and Report Ch. 5: Weather, etc.: Web Site Design Ch. 6: Climate Change: Series of Articles Ch. 7: Resources: Resource Use Report Ch. 8: Earth Evolution: Illustrated Film Script

EarthComm Assessment Getting Started – Pre-Assessment Scenario, Chapter Challenges, Mini-Challenges: Project/Portfolio Assessment; comes with rubric What Do You See?: Pre-Assessment – especially good for visual learners Think About It: Pre-Assessment – allows for reflection, both individually and group

More EarthComm Assessment Think About It Again – Post-Assessment Section Quizzes: Diagnostic; Formative Earth/Space Science Practice Tests: Summative; Prepare for standardized assessments

Differentiated Instruction Scenario and Chapter Challenges – Allow for alternative modes of learning in team-based, problem-solving format Investigate/Inquiring Further: Different lab levels for basic and advanced students GeoWords and Checking Up: Provide guidance for students with reading challenges. Included with Digging Deeper content sections

More Differentiated Instruction Earth Science You Learned – Review of key concepts ES Connections to Other Sciences and Extending the Connection: Different levels of content for basic and advanced students Pacing Guide: Homework suggestions Differentiated Instruction section (TE): Advice on crafting differentiated instruction with EarthComm
