This publication is a collection of 13 hands-on activities that focus on earth science-related activities and involve students in learning about growing crystals, tectonics, fossils, rock and minerals, modeling Ohio geology, geologic time, determining true north, and constructing scale-models of the Earth-moon system. Each activity contains…

A semantic mapping heuristic is presented which provides an instructional strategy for teaching notetaking, recognizing main ideas and pertinent details, and sorting and organizing them into a report. The strategy enables learning-disabled students to read independently about a topic and subsequently write a report, thus establishing a…

Analyzes construction and use of analogies in social science texts and compares results to an earlier analysis of physical science texts. Results indicate that categories in the classification system for analogy construction were consistent across disciplines, although differences were revealed regarding how analogies are used in instructional…

Nine cooperative learning techniques are described and classified according to the following categories: (1) type of subject matter; (2) nature of student interdependence; (3) interaction among cooperative groups; (4) method of grouping students; (5) basis for evaluation and reward; and (6) practical requirements for implementation. The academic…

The effectiveness of methods teaching how to identify the main idea of expository paragraphs was tested using 47 remedial reading 6th through 11th graders.
