Teacher's Manual

This manual is useful for teachers who want to teach science inquiry using real earth data, and especially the "Our Dynamic Planet" CDROM. It illustrates some of the interesting studies in plate tectonics that are possible using the CD and discusses an example of how a science paper assignment could be presented to students. It is oriented toward introductory college courses, but would be helpful for middle school and high school teachers who want to give inquiry assignments.

* The teacher's manual files are also included on the "Our Dynamic Planet" CDROM.
