Planet Earth: Land, Water, Sky

Planet Earth
Why is it essential to include a study of earth science? Earth scientists–for example, meteorologists, seismologists, and geologists–assist people in coping with the volatility of our planet. Their careers and their specific knowledge help us acquire and allocate resources that sustain and advance civilization. Planet Earth: Land, Water, Sky is a new earth science text for middle school. Mastery-based, Planet Earth instructs students to study and prepare so they learn and retain content long after the Cram-Pass-Forget cycle of other curriculums. Planet Earth begins with a study of the solar system and includes a thorough introduction to weather systems. Minerals, plate tectonics, volcanoes, and earthquakes are covered, as well as landforms and a bit of the earth's history.

The Planet Earth bundle includes the Digital Resources pack with a quiz bank and keys, weekly review guides, semester exams, an experiment manual, recommendations for teaching, and more. These resources are an important part of Planet Earth's distinctive mastery-learning approach, which aims to help students avoid a cram-pass-forget cycle. Please note that the Digital Resources are non-returnable. More details about the Digital Resources pack can be found below.
