| Publisher Description: This is the student practical manual to accompany the second book of ADVENTURES in EARTH and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE. It is designed for the second-year program in this topic and is matched to the chapters of Book 2 i.e. Chapters 15 to 28. There are fifty tested practical experiments requiring relatively simple laboratory equipment and Internet connectivity. Each practical activity procedure is clearly set out and many are illustrated with photographs or diagrams. Results and conclusions are directed and there is often reference to further student research. There are also several video links designed to show aspects of the activity or relating to it. All of the mandatory experiments proscribed in the Queensland Syllabus have been included. |
