Synopsis
Developed by JASON Learning - in partnership with the National Geographic Society, NOAA, the Smithsonian Institution, and the U.S. Department of Energy - Geology: Tectonic Fury takes students on a journey to examine the geologic forces at work on our planet. Students work alongside leading researchers to investigate Earth's icy peaks, liquid metal core, and strange and beautiful landforms. Geology affects so many aspects of our lives, from energy production to the food we grow. Understanding the structure of Earth, its history, and the processes that act on is vital for our survival. Geology: Tectonic Fury explains key concepts related to geology - including rocks and minerals, the rock cycle, weathering and erosion, soil, Earth's history, fossils, plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanoes - in an engaging and exciting format. With 134 pages of breathtaking, full-color images, Geology: Tectonic Fury is sure to captivate curious minds. JASON Learning curricula are designed to be incorporated into upper elementary, middle school, and high school classrooms and other formal and informal learning environments. Content is rigorously aligned to national and state science standards as well as Common Core mathematics and English language arts standards. In addition to the engaging reading selections and integration of real-world scientists and their work, all JASON curricula include hands-on activities and labs that can be performed easily with limited resources. Optional JASON Online Access (purchased separately) brings content to life with a host of additional features on JASON's gated website including read-to-me functionality, scientist profiles, on-demand videos, and award-winning interactive games.
