  4. Hi Kayla and Jennifer,Thank you for such nice comments! I just love hearing from others. You were asking what books we used and how I developed this unit. I didn't use any one specific source (actually haven't ever seen R.E.A.L. science so can't comment on how well our activities go along with that — perhaps someone else knows??), but here's how I planned it out…I wanted to do the Montessori study of land and waterforms (I have beautiful cards that I'll talk about in the next couple of weeks from http://theteachersdesk.info/SocialStudies.aspx) But I didn't feel that was enough in and of itself… I really wanted the kids to have a strong understanding of how/why the earth was formed and how much it has changed through time.So I looked through some of the sources that I have:Here are some of the books I used:Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding (a Science Curriculum for K-2) by Bernard NebelHow the Earth Works: 60 Activities for Exploring Volcanoes, Fossils, Earthquakes and More by Michelle O'Brien-PalmerEarth-Shaking Science Projects about Planet Earth by Robert GardnerHow the Earth Works: 100 Ways Parents and Kids Can Share the Secrets of the Earth by John Farndon (from Reader's Digest) One last thing, please feel free to use any/all the ideas we've shared. That's why I blog–in case someone else finds it helpful!! 🙂 I have nothing but gratitude for the other bloggers out there who have shared their great ideas and successes!
