High School Earth Science
EDC Earth Science incorporates the three dimensions of each NGSS Performance Expectation for high school earth science. This program:
- integrates 59 meaningful hands-on activities,
- includes embedded literacy strategies and comprehensive teacher support,
- and is packed with relevant Big Data to help students prepare for our data driven future.
EDC Earth Science creates a complete learning system with coordinated references between the comprehensive student textbook, built in formative and summative assessments, an extensive teacher’s guide, and ancillary supports:
- PowerPoint slides for each chapter
- Printable student sheets
- Online Student and Teacher book with Teacher Resources
- Supplemental Resources
EDC Earth Science is designed around the belief that students are capable of rigorous and in-depth explorations in science when given adequate support, structure, and motivation for learning. Students perform data-intensive Earth Science investigations set in real-world contexts. They also engage in a variety of other activities, including topical fiction and non-fiction readings and research projects and presentations that build critical life and scientific literacy skills.
