This project will create a textbook with integrated laboratory, field and classroom activities, teacher guide and a teacher professional development guide to support the teaching of an environmental science course for grade 10-12. The materials will be designed for a course that has a focus on the relationship between humans and their geological surroundings. A learning cycle pedagogical design will be used to help students develop concept understandings and skills through concept exploration, development and application phases. Concept application will feature student-driven inquiry into environmental issues that require application of geological, geographical and technological understandings and tools. Embedded and performance-based assessments will elicit students' conceptual understanding of core environmental and earth systems concepts, unifying concepts and processes, applications of technology to societal problems and the nature of science and technology. Print materials for each unit will integrate application of USGS global GIS data sets and tools to student research. Appropriate supplemental web content will be provided to enhance teachers' understanding of science content, facilitate data acquisition and support student inquiry.

该项目将编写一本综合了实验室、实地和课堂活动的教科书、教师指南和教师专业发展指南，以支持10-12年级环境科学课程的教学。这些材料将设计用于一门课程，重点是人类与其地质环境之间的关系。将使用学习循环教学设计，通过概念探索、开发和应用阶段帮助学生发展概念理解和技能。概念应用将以学生为主导的对环境问题的探究为特色，这些问题需要应用地质、地理和技术的理解和工具。嵌入式和以成绩为基础的评估将激发学生对核心环境和地球系统概念的概念性理解，统一概念和过程，将技术应用于社会问题和科学技术的性质。每个单元的印刷材料将把USGS全球地理信息系统数据集和工具的应用整合到学生研究中。课程亦会提供适当的补充网页内容，以加强教师对科学内容的理解、方便数据搜集和支援学生的查询。
