In addition, you can find here videos of my lectures (screencasts), practice exams, video reviews for each of four required exams, and twelve laboratory assignments for Geology 101. All laboratory assignments are provided as pdf files. Students enrolled in Geology 101 are expected to download and bring printed copies of each laboratory assignment to class.

The content standards of NSES outline what students ought to know, understand, and be able to do at various stages of their K-12 education. Inquiry should play a central role in developing students' understandings. The K-4 Earth science standards target students' understandings of properties of Earth materials, objects in the sky, and changes in the Earth and sky.
