Problems in Earth, Air and Space

This text represents a resource to all science students. It offers a wide variety of original, graded problems in earth and environmental sciences, requiring students to handle and present information in different ways, to evaluate scientific data, to seek patterns, to derive and discover interactive variables and to synthesize scientific information. Other features include: coverage of current double-award criteria GCSE science syllabuses in the Earth Science area and National Curriculum Science material in Key Stage 4; sections on geology, geophysics, meteorology, astronomy, aspects of energy and human influences on the earth; "content free" questions, appropriate for students following any syllabus; questions drafted with particular Level Statements of the National Curriculum in mind, and each group of problems is arranged in a graded sequence; answers to selected questions are discussed for revision and review; and technological, environmental and economic aspects are stressed throughout, as science is applied to the real world.
