Comment on this resource
Earth Systems Connections (ESC) is an elementary science, mathematics, and technology curriculum designed to help young children appreciate the significance and delicate nature of the natural environment by leading them to recognize the interconnected nature of the Earths systems, appreciate the technological tools that scientists use to conduct Earth system science, and recognize the extent to which mathematics, science, and technology are not only connected to each other, but also can serve as tools to help us understand the natural phenomena we experience. The ESC curriculum consists of multifaceted lessons organized into seven learning modules with over 100 activities contained within the ESC lessons.- Topical areas covered include: maps and images, migrations and changes, plants and soils, landscape changes, global visions, seasonal changes, and Earth systems and humans.
