This program was developed to make the basic Earth Science curriculum accessible to all kinds of learners. The clear, straightforward presentation of essential facts, the colorful, highly visual elements, and the hands-on activities will capture the interest of students with a variety of learning styles and skill levels. The content supports Earth Science curriculum that covers the layers of the earth, tectonic plates and plate boundaries, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, rocks, minerals, fossils, and soil presented in grades 4 and up. It is useful as a reinforcement and review tool for older students who need extra help with these concepts.
Each set of facts is presented in several different ways and enhanced with photo images that bring the information to life and visually engages students in the learning process. Students will have many learning opportunities as they work with the binder materials. The short, manageable bits of important information presented in the Fast Facts Folders and Fast Facts Mini-Posters are appealing to struggling learners and pave the way for further instruction.
