Explore how environmental conditions and changes have had a profound effect on history. These classroom-ready activities show students how to apply the principles of earth science to events that have dictated America's past and present, from 30,000 years ago to today. Such historical events as early migrations to and from North America, the building of the Panama Canal, and the Johnstown flood are placed within the context of geological, meteorological, astronomical, and oceanographical processes. Applying critical thinking and experiential learning, young learners also explore how earth science processes often become hazards. Grades 6-12.

Review Since the beginning of time, environmental conditions and changes have had a profound effect on history. American History Through Earth Science presents background narrative, extension activities, time and materials requirements, suggested student groupings, step-by-step instructions, sources of additional information, and references. Many of the numerous maps, graphs and tables are reproducible. A glossary, chronology, and bibliography further enhance the value of American History Through Earth Science. Designed primarily for classroom use, American History Through Earth Science is highly recommended as being ideal for homeschooling curriculums as it brings drama and excitement into a subject (history) that is all to often misperceived as dry and boring. Craig Munsart's work can well serve as a model for other disciplines as well. -- Midwest Book Review About the Author CRAIG A.
