>Subject: 17 February 2001 Earth Science Site of the Week
>This week's "Sites of the Week" feature maps, rivers, eclipses, and
>lesson plans.
>
>The USGS Rocky Mountain Mapping Center maintains "USGS Topographic Maps
>Illustrating Physiographic Features" which indexes the names and
>locations of topographic maps that illustrate landforms associated with
>coasts, escarpments, glaciation (alpine and continental), tectonics,
>solution, rivers, volcanic, wind and more. The index is also organized
>by state. If needing the name of a topographic map that illustrates
>process and landform then this is the site to visit.

>Funded by the NSF, the "Virtual River" is part of "Geology Labs On-Line"
>from the California State University at Los Angeles. Geared toward
>middle school to introductory college level, this site uses flash
>animations and interactive testing to depict discharge, flooding, and
>flood frequency. Each activity requires students to make careful
>observations and measurements, do simple calculations, and answer
>questions. I did find a dead link in the "Demo" portion of the site but
>otherwise this is a good site for introducing rivers. .

>NASA's "Eclipse Home Page" should be the first stop for anyone
>interested in the dates and locations for lunar and solar eclipses,
>publications, climatic data associated with eclipses, and web resources.

>The Southeastern Michigan Math-Science Learning Coalition's has
>assembled an impressive set of science lesson plans and science
>activities at "Science Lessons by Subject". I like the site because it
>quick loading, easy to follow, and differentiates lesson plans from
>activities, the latter typically being a demonstration that will perk
>student interest before a lecture.

>These sites are archived at RESOURCES FOR EARTH SCIENCE AND GEOGRAPHY
>INSTRUCTION at http://www.cmich.edu/~franc1m/homepage.htm The links are
>organized around the sequence of topics typically taught in an
>introductory earth science or physical geography class. Links are also,
>available for environmental science, earth science/geography education,
>career opportunities, and more. The sites selected are based on image
>quality, ease with which lesson plans can be developed, organization,
>authenticity, scope, and format. Please contact me at

>new subscriber, or suggest a site to be listed.
