If you are a teacher of science at any grade level, the National Science Education Standards, along with your state's and school district's standards, will provide you with powerful guidance.

The Learning Web
This is a USGS web dedicated to K-12 education, exploration, and life-long learning. Explore things on, in, around, and about the Earth such as plants and animals, land, water, and maps. Learn how Biology, Geology, Hydrology, and Geography can help us understand our changing world.

The Explorer The Explorer is a collection of educational resources (instructional software, lab activities, lesson plans, student created materials ...) for K-12 mathematics and science education. You may browse through mathematics and science education curricula or conduct searches that focus on specific interests.

SEPM's K-12 Earth Science Education Committee's Home Page
SEPM's K-12 Earth Science Education Committee's goal is to improve earth science education at all levels. We are committed both to identifying approaches and activities that have an immediate and direct impact on classroom instruction, and to working on long-term changes to ensure the prominent role of earth science in the educational system. We encourage all interested sedimentary geologists to become involved in informally helping earth science education by sharing their knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm with students and teachers. We have published three resource books to assist members in accomplishing this.

The StudyWeb
