This comprehensive and exciting new text covers all of the syllabus requirements of the NSW Board of Studies HSC course in Earth and Environmental Science. Featuring global, Australian and NSW contexts it provides extensive coverage of core and elective topics and contains up-to-date information with special attention given to providing material for those areas of the syllabus that teachers have found difficult to resource. Also it gives clear sets of outcomes for each section of the text and includes numerous exercises and practical activities with a range of difficulty to address the needs…mehr
This comprehensive and exciting new text covers all of the syllabus requirements of the NSW Board of Studies HSC course in Earth and Environmental Science. Featuring global, Australian and NSW contexts it provides extensive coverage of core and elective topics and contains up-to-date information with special attention given to providing material for those areas of the syllabus that teachers have found difficult to resource. Also it gives clear sets of outcomes for each section of the text and includes numerous exercises and practical activities with a range of difficulty to address the needs of all students. Students will develop an appreciation of natural phenomena and human interactions with the natural world.
Tom Hubble has taught introductory geology as well as specialist engineering and environmental geology courses to science and civil engineering students at the University of Sydney since 1988. He has been an examiner, marker and curriculum developer for the HSC.
