Earth Sciences

• USGS Learning Web - U.S. Geological Survey provides scientific information intended to help educate the public about natural resources, natural hazards, geospatial data, and issues that affect our quality of life. Discover selected online resources, including lessons, data, maps, and more, to support teaching, learning, education (K-12), and university-level inquiry and research.
• Understanding our Planet Through Chemistry - U.S. Geological Survey site shows how chemists and geologists use analytical chemistry to: determine the age of the Earth; show that an extraterrestrial body collided with the Earth; predict volcanic eruptions; observe atmospheric change over millions of years; and document damage by acid rain and pollution of the Earth's surface.
• Earth Fact Sheet - NSSDC basic earth statistics.
• ESEU: Earth Science Education Unit - Keele University provides free in-service training to teachers across England, Scotland and Wales, through workshops for schools, teacher meetings and teacher education institutions.
