EarthComm
Earth System Science in the Community (EarthComm) is a comprehensive secondary-level educational program in the Earth Sciences that includes student learning materials, teacher resources (both materials and teacher-support networks), and assessment tools for a hands-on, inquiry-driven, instructional program. EarthComm does not cover as many topics as the traditional earth science textbook. It emphasizes important concepts, understandings, and abilities that all students can use to make wise decisions, think critically, and understand and appreciate the earth system. Supported during its development by the National Science Foundation, one link is to the publisher's website and another is to the American Geological Institute site.
