Gold Rush!: An Event-Based Science Module. Student Edition. Rocks and Minerals Module.
Wright, Russell G.
This book is designed for middle school students to learn scientific literacy through event-based science. Unlike traditional curricula, the event-based earth science module is a student-centered, interdisciplinary, inquiry-oriented program that emphasizes cooperative learning, teamwork, independent research, hands-on investigations, and exploration of authentic tasks. Students use this book to work in cooperative teams, playing the roles of mining production/operations manager, mining engineer/geologist, chemist, and environmental hazards manager to gather information about particular mines in Nevada.
