Introduction: This module leads pre-primary and primary grade students and teachers through activities and to resources which will help them learn about basic geology and which will help them internalize the basics of scientific inquiry.Click here to return to MenuAim: This module introduces students to basic information about geology; provides teachers and students with resources for further study of geology; and introduces or reinforces an understanding of scientific inquiry.Click here to return to MenuRationale: In working through the activities and information from this module, students will gain practical skills in conducting science experiments and in how to access information on the web; teachers will gain practical skills in using web-based modules as teaching tools.Click here to return to MenuGoals and Objectives: Students will have a basic understanding of some of the following concepts: minerals; rocks; plate tec./continental drift; geological time periods; fossils/dinosaurs; earthquakes; volcanoes. Students will be able to access relevant information using links and resources provided. Students will understand the following parts of a science experiment: problem; hypothesis; materials; procedure; observations/data; conclusion. Teachers will understand the fundamentals of teaching science, will be able to use a web-based module as a teaching tool, and will have a number of resources available from the module to use in teaching a geology unit.Click here to return to MenuAudience: The audience for this module is made up of pre-pimary and primary grade students and teachers.Click here to return to MenuPre-requisites: Students must have some understanding of the basics of scientific inquiry.Click here to return to MenuSubject-Matter: Basic geological concepts.Click here to return to MenuInstructional PlanClick here to return to MenuMaterialsClick here to return to MenuAssessment and EvaluationClick here to return to MenuAppendices (optional, if needed)
