This
homepage
for
a
101
college
class
about
environmental
geology
is
designed
to
teach
students
about
the
increasingly
severe
resource
problems
related
to
human
impact
on
the
environment.
The
class
notes
section
contains
lecture
notes
about
topics
such
as
rocks,
minerals,
geologic
time,
population,
earth
materials,
plate
tectonics,
earthquakes,
volcanoes,
floods,
coastal
hazards,
mass
movements,
water

This
site
demonstrates
how,
with
the
use
of
orbital
mechanics,
a
space
mission
to
Mars
can
be
planned.
Using
no
more
than
algebra,
Kepler's
laws
and
the
formula
for
the
energy
of
an
object
in
a
Kepler
orbit,
it
derives
the
time
for
an
optimal
flight
to
Mars,
the
timing
of
the
flight,
the
thrust
needed
to
enter
the
orbit
and
to
leave
it
upon
arrival,
and
details
of
the
flight
back
to
Earth,
including

This
review
material
is
meant
to
reinforce
student
understanding
of
the
relationship
between
plate
tectonics
and
the
rock
cycle.
Although
developed
for
students
in
the
United
Kingdom,
it
can
easily
be
modified
for
any
region
on
Earth.
The
activity
involves
students
answering
questions
based
on
their
knowledge
of
plate
tectonics
and
the
rock
cycle
and
could
be
used
as
a
homework
assignment
or
individual

This educational game reviews concepts learned during an astronomy or space science unit. It can be adapted to any material and any curriculum. The game serves as a motivational tool to enhance enjoyment of reviewing concepts. The site includes instructions for the game and sample questions about the Earth, the sun, other planets, and constellations along with some questions called potpourri.

This
two-part
activity
provides
an
introduction
to
the
basics
of
measurement
(linear,
mass,
volume,
density)
and
discusses
the
role
of
inferential
statistics
in
comparing
any
two
measurements.
The
concept
of
random
variations
in
measurements
is
introduced,
which
leads
to
a
discussion
of
binomial
distributions
and
probability
in
comparing
measurements
and
results.
Students
will
use
online
databases

This
lesson
provides
an
overview
of
destructive
earthquakes
and
their
connection
to
tectonic
movements
of
the
Earth's
crust.
It
includes
a
discussion
of
some
especially
destructive
historic
earthquakes,
and
a
brief
introduction
to
contintental
drift
and
the
theory
of
plate
tectonics.
There
is
also
discussion
of
basic
seismology
(types
of
waves)
and
measures
of
the
magnitude
of
an
earthquake
(the
Richter

This activity consists of four exercises that deal with the partitioning of slip within scenarios involving two or more faults. The first three are hypothetical situations; the last activity focuses on the plate boundary in southern California.

This lesson focuses on relative versus absolute velocity. Students can use a program (must be connected to the internet) to calculate the different types of velocities for different points along plate boundaries. A very brief description of the earth's plates is given, with links to additional information and images. Includes discussion questions.
