It's EARTH SCIENCE WEEK! Doesn't that make you just want to sing!?!?
This year the
American Geosciences Institute will be organizing Earth Science Week which runs October 11-17 and celebrating the theme "Visualizing Earth Systems".
Everyone can participate in Earth Science Week and most of the work has been done for you. You can find a list of engaging and educational
classroom activities that are based on the
Next Generation Science Standards and are marked with the appropriate grade level
here.
Each day this week I'll be celebrating Earth Week by sharing freebies, special promotions and products with you. Make sure to follow me on Facebook (
www.facebook.com/NittyGrittyScience) to be notified! My first gift to you,
offered for a limited time, will be instructions and printables for making this
Earth's Interior interactive activity that is featured in my
Earth Science Interactive Notebook: Plate Tectonics.
