Ruth in Canada Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm looking for a meaty secular earth science text for a kid who is loving Conceptual Chemistry and will be working on Conceptual Physics next year. (He's 12, we'll do another round of chemistry & physics later.) I know there are open physics & chemistry texts and courses--is there anything along those lines for earth sciences? If not, any recommendations for standard textbooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Hen Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Power Basics Science textbooks are totally secular. I used their Earth-Space Science textbook last year with my 6th grader. It is aimed at Jr High to High School. Recently there was a thread on this board about earth-science stuff too. You might be able to find it --- here it is: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77310&highlight=power I picked mine up from Rainbow Resources.

elizabeth Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 http://www.pearsonschool.com/index.cfm?locator=PSZ89t&cx=005941229713221132392%3Ahnmn4cnhhby&cof=FORID%3A11&q=earth+science&searchSubmit.x=21&searchSubmit.y=13#1043 Hello I have ordered from this company and used a text no longer in print they are excellent to deal with and I took the liberty of bookmarking all the pages for earth science. I think that the forensic science texts might be fascinating for my 12 year old Sherlock Holmes fan ...These are secular and they will send you a catalogue as well. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I found this book on paperbackswap. Tarbuck Earth Science. It appears to be very meaty. It is also from Prentice Hall. I have not used it yet, but plan to in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
