Earth Science
   

The following set of resources is meant to supplement the Prentice Hall Earth Science Text, part of the Science Explorer Series.  Assessments are available for each of the chapters; you will need to call in to HALL for a username and password to access the assessments.  A link is provided to the assessments site on the bottom of each of the Virtual Handouts.  You can also access them directly from the following web site:

     http://quizstar.4teachers.org/indexs.jsp

The Prentice Hall Website is also very useful and should be accessed for each chapter.

The Virtual Handouts are the most comprehensive resource here.  They use multimedia to illustrate the lessons in the text.  Do not overlook or underestimate their value.  Open each link and explore each of the recommended features therein...and hey, enjoy it!
