Current Issue

We are very excited about this very special, peer reviewed, Spring issue of The Earth Scientist (TES). This issue contains 5 articles, ranging from Spacial Thinking, to Geo-STEM education, and from Professional Development, to an exploration of "Common Core" in the science classroom.

A longer article is included, which in Q & A format, fully explains the personal, classroom, district and state impact of the just released Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

We are sure that you will find, within these 5 highly informative articles, something that will enhance your knowledge as well as something that will translate into immediate use in your classroom.
