About This Item
Description
Comprehensive, affordable and effective, Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) Kits provide an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to teaching a specific science topic through the use of activities and investigative equipment. Delta Science Modules Earth Movements Complete Kit will get your class to explore the massive movements that are constantly shaping Earth, such as volcanoes erupting, trenches creeping open, and continental plates colliding and sending mountain ranges skyward. Students will learn how rocks provide clues to Earth's history, structure, and geological activity. They will build Earth cross-sections to compare ocean and continental crusts. They will also investigate Earth processes that lend support to the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. Next, students will model ocean-floor spreading, plate subduction, magma convection currents, volcanism, and earthquakes at plate boundaries. As a result, students will learn to think of the Earth as a geological mosaic, constantly being refitted.
Along with the kit activities, the Earth Movements Delta Science Reader (and complementary Skillbuilders booklet that helps students practice reading/grammar/writing/vocabulary skills with the content from the Delta Science Reader) will get students to read and learn even more about Earth’s layers and landforms, along with the forces that shape Earth’s surface. Students will: learn how moving plates, earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering, and erosion change Earth; learn how moving plates, earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering, and erosion change Earth; read about seismologists, scientists who study earthquakes, and about Charles Richter, the creator of the Richter scale for ranking the strength of earthquakes; and finally, learn about the rock cycle.
Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) consist of a total of 59 assorted kits ranging from Grade K to 8 levels, each with a step-by-step teacher guide, student readers, 12-14 interconnected activities, and enough equipment to serve up to 32 students.
