Dave Reynolds' Eighth Grade Science Classroom

Olive Peirce Middle School

Ramona, California

Students spent the several days working with the CD ROM, Our Dynamic Planet, created at UC Santa Barbara by Dr. William Prothero. The students used the "Profile Game" to identify unknown features. Above left is a profile drawn across an island. The students investigated unknown features using the programs' tools.

Above left is a profile across a ridge. To the right is an oblique view of a depression. The Our Dynamic Planet software has many useful tools. The students are able to investigate applications of the software using views of Earth features in various orientations.
