Revision Notes - Open Source CA Textbook - Earth Science

Added or modified by Curriki Textbook Group on Feb-13-2010

The originally submitted text was based on Earth Systems, an Earth Science Course.  Below, you will find suggested revisions to this original document, plus space to track our progress.

I have sorted his materials into more standards-based unit folders.  Basically, we need to decide what is worth keeping and what should get taken out of each folder, based on the standards.  Then we need to add the missing content.  (Basically, all of the standards are "not in evidence.)  Finally, we need to organize it all in a way that makes pedagogical and organizational sense. 

We will loosely base our organization on the Magnet unit - with each unit containing a unit overview (in the wiki), numbered lessons (in the wiki), a folder for printables (as attachments), and another folder for supplementary materials (PPTs, animations) .  (And maybe a third folder for answer keys?)

Checking the course outline below, we will indicate parts as:

  • COMPLETE
  • IN PROGRESS
  • NEEDS SIGNIFICANT WORK / DOES NOT EXIST
