ABOUT EARTHLAB SCIENCE MODULES

Unlike many of the other SPONSORWARE modules, EarthLab Science Modules are not games. They are designed to illustrate small chunks of knowledge. Think of them interactrive illustrations. Thinking and discovery are encouraged by the intentional lack of instructions and open-ended questions.

Observation Lab modules are simple experiments designed to let students reason out concepts from the results.
