Comment on this resource
This show tells the story of how summer fun suffers a setback when the tree house detectives discover that their favorite spot on the beach is shrinking. The detectives dig in and learn more about weathering, erosion, the rock cycle, and much more. This show is part of the NASA SCI Files series of instructional programs consisting of broadcast, print, and online elements. Emphasizing research and standards-based instruction, problem-based learning, and scientific inquiry, the series seeks to motivate students to become critical thinkers and active problem solvers. Each program supports national math, science, and technology standards and has three components: (1) a 60-minute television broadcast; (2) a companion educator guide; (3) an interactive Web site.
