• Introductory instructions with an exploration of the Atlantic Ocean floor. Develops basic skills using GNA.
• Understanding the Earth's Crust using gravity data. This document is an overview of a unit used in a physics course.
• Topics for Gravity of Earth's Crust. This is a annotated list of topics that students could pursue in the lesson above.
• Investigating Magnetic Stripes on the Ocean Floor. Create images with magnetic isochron data to investigate plate motions and ocean floor features.

• Introductory Instructions: designed to provide a familiarity with the program as students correlate earthquake populations to plate boundaries. They also explore regional patterns in the Pacific Northwest.
• Investigating Earthquake History, Locally. This document also introduces the program as well as directing students to use it as a tool to characterize earthquake history and create useful images.
• Investigating Earthquake History, Globally. This project prepares students to present for classmates various earthquake prone regions. It promotes the use of proposal writing and storyboard use. (See below)
• Storyboard Form

• Using Seismic Waves to understand wave behavior and the Earth's internal structure.

• Bioethics Debates This lesson uses the internet as a research tool for students to research bioethical issues in preparation for a class debate. A curriculum page is used to focus students on relevant sites.
• Format of the Debate
• Learning the Turf This document provides basic instructions on how to incorporate the internet into project research.
• Research NASA Missions This is a lesson that uses a curriculum page that access images and historical descriptions of various NASA missions.
• A Forum on Global Warming This supports a unit for chemistry on the issue of global warming. After studying basic atmospheric chemistry and data sets relevant to climate change students hold a Forum on the issue. A curriculum page focuses their research.
• Various Roles for the Forum For the Global Warming Forum students assume specific roles of groups that have a stake in the issue.

• Introduction to ISMCS:  Students learn the keystrokes of this program and practice graphing data in excel.  They select stations that present the effects of latitude on average monthly temperature.  This requires them to wrestle with confounding variables.
• Researching Various Climatic Patterns:  Small student teams search for sets of weather stations that illustrate specific climatic patterns, (such as rainshadows, effects of marine influence on average monthly temperature, rain in the tropics et. al.)

Using Geo-Hazards Photo Set

• Creating Slideshows for Other Students Using L-View and the Geo-Hazards Photo Set
