PREVIOUS ENTRY Measuring Earthquakes SCIENCE ACTIVITY BOOKS NEXT ENTRY Project SPICA: A Teacher Resource to Enhance Astronomy Education On the Rocks: Earth Science Activities for Grades 1-8. Susan G. Stover and R. Heather Macdonald, eds. Tulsa, Okla.: SEPM [Society for Sedimentary Geology], 1993. Recommended grade level: On the Rocks is a collection of 50 earth science demonstrations, activities, and investigations. The activities are intended for a varied audiencefor those new to teaching earth science, for experienced teachers seeking new ideas or approaches, and for geologists visiting the classroom. The activities are grouped under 7 major topics: (1) rocks and minerals; (2) soils, volcanoes, and earthquakes; (3) water; (4) fossils; (5) maps and map making; (6) science basics; and (7) geology, society, and the environment. Among the activities in On the Rocks, students simulate the formation of sedimentary rocks.They observe how and why ground liquefaction occurs during earthquakes. They create a musical play based on their knowledge of dinosaurs. Students also use a model to see how and why groundwater moves through aquifers; they make a 3-dimensional model of a landscape and relate the model to a topographic map; and they explore the many different ways petroleum is used in modern society, learning about advantages and disadvantages of its use. Price: $9(ISBN 1-56576-005-0).

Earth Science Activities That Sinking Feeling That Sinking Feeling Objectives: Students will: - analyze satellite imagery of Central Florida - compare and contrast geologic differences over a twenty year period - assess the role of water's impact on the local geologic features Materials: computers with internet access map of Florida access to USGS - Earthshots: Orlando Change Background: What does water quality have to do with rocks and the development of Central Florida? More than the average person might think. This activity will guide students to the understanding that there is a significant link between water quality and the geologic features of Florida. Chemical sedimentary rocks form when minerals are precipitated from a solution or are left behind when a solution evaporates. Deposits of minerals that precipitate out of solution, or remain after evaporation, form rocks. Calcium carbonate is a compound that is carried in solution in ocean water. When the calcium carbonate precipitates out of solution as calcite, many crystals grow together and form the chemical sedimentary rock known as limestone. Limestone may also contain other minerals and sediments, but it is comprised of at least 50 percent calcite. Limestone is usually deposited on sea or ocean floors. Large areas of the United States, including Florida, are underlain by limestone because oceans once covered much of the country for millions of years.
