Earth Science HyperStudio Stacks

Following are hyperstudio stacks that Scott Johnson (sjohnson@grand-forks.k12.nd.us), a elementary school teacher in Licoln Elementary in Grand Forks, has developed. These lessons are geared toward and tested by 5-8 grade students.

Here is a philosophical discussion of how one teacher - Scott Johnson, a member of the VolcanoWorld development team - plans to use VolcanoWorld in his 5/6th grade classroom. Specific lesson plans like those listed below could be components of Scott's general plan. Let us know how you might use VW in your classroom.

The stacks are compressed. You will need to grab (by clicking your mouse on the file) the HyperStudio Player before downloading the stacks.

HyperStudio Player requires you to set the monitor of your Mac to 256 colors before you use it. You can do so by picking 256 in your [Control Panels] [Monitors].

The CopyMaster in each chapter has questions and answers that can be used by teachers. Please read the README file in the CopyMaster before using the stacks.
