The development of the Crustal Evolution Education Project (C EEP) materials at Western Washington University is described. (MDR)

Comments on the fact that national elementary school curriculum projects contain few earth science topics, in spite of the high interest which children display toward earth science activities. (MLH)

Numerous excerpts from present day earth science curriculum materials reveal sexual discrimination. In addition, studies of photographs included in the materials reveal a high male dominance. The significant contributions of one earth scientist, Florence Bascom, are remembered. (CP)

Six underlying assumptions of the Crustal Evolution Education Project (CEEP) are analyzed. This article reports that all assumptions have been validated and that CEEP is accomplishing its major purposes. (MR)

This is an instructional activity from a Crustal Evolution Project (CEEP) module which involves the student with evidence supporting continental drift and the past existance of Pangea. (MDR)

The contents of a student investigation booklet of a Crustal Evolution Education Project instructional module is presented in a slightly condensed form. The module uses deep sea data collected by The Glomar Challenger. (MR)

Reports that teachers of the Crustal Evolution Education Project (CEEP) exhibit most of the characteristics typical of earth science teachers. However, their backgrounds in geology are superior to those of most earth science teachers. CEEP students tend to be academically above average. (Author/MA)

GEO-Study, an NSF-sponsored study, conducted by the American Geological Institute (1962-64) to examine the educational environment of 44 geology departments, initiating a change in United States geological education. Discusses the early years of development and study (emphasizing undergraduate geological education) and the last 10 years during…

The three stages of evaluation of the instructional modules of the Crustal Evolution Evaluation Project (CEEP) are described. Self-instructional evaluation procedures were developed and used. These are presently available to science educators through NAGT or the ERIC system. (SA)
