Arranged in a series of short chapters, each quickly accessible using an onscreen menu, EarthandYou™ is the perfect tool to introduce your students to Earth Science concepts and help them understand the big ideas that underlie Earth System Science. Many of these concepts are difficult for students to understand because they are outside students’ everyday lives. EarthandYou™ will help your students form a clear visual sense of how Earth works, and how solid earth, air, water and life work together as a set of systems driven by the Sun’s energy and Earth’s inner heat. The audio track includes narration, dramatic sound effects and music, all recorded in the highest technical quality.
