The Earth Scientist, Volume XXV, Issue 4, Winter 2009
$10.00
This special issue of The Earth Scientist, which focuses on Earth System science, was sponsored by The Pennsylvania
State University TESSE Team. The issue features the work of middle and high
school teachers, and graduate and undergraduate students who have participated in
the TESSE program from 2006 - 2009. TESSE – Transforming Earth System Science Education – is an NSF-sponsored collaborative project
among scientists and educators from the University of New Hampshire, Dillard
University, Elizabeth City State University, and the Pennsylvania State University.
The teachers and students whose works appear in this journal come from across the
state of Pennsylvania and include veteran and new Earth Science teachers at both
private and public schools.
