Item Description:

Science Seekers The Changing Earth is part of the Science Seekers series. Science Seekers The Changing Earth is published by Tom Snyder/ Scholastic and is available in different configurations to fit your needs.

In Science Seekers: The Changing Earth, students are faced with the challenge of finding the best place to look for fossils in an as-yet unexplored area called Vastland. They must learn about land formations and rock types, and about basic Earth processes like plate tectonics and erosion to pick the best fossil-hunting site.

Students learn these scientific concepts:

  • The basic internal structure of Earth
  • How plate tectonics creates mountains and volcanoes on Earth's surface
  • The different ways solid rock can respond to pressure from plate tectonics
  • The formation of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rock
  • The rock cycle
  • How fossils form in sedimentary rock
  • How wind and water work to weather and erode rock on Earth's surface
  • About stratification and the Law of Superposition
  • How the combined forces of uplift and erosion help expose fossils on the surface

    Students learn how to work as a team by:

  • Becoming members of an interdependent group
  • Listening and talking with others
  • Sharing a common goal
  • Collaborating to solve a problem

  • Core
  • Cust
  • Erosion
  • Fault
  • Fossil
  • Igneous rock
  • Landform
  • Lava
  • Law of Superposition
