ADVENTURES IN PALEONTOLOGY: 36 CLASSROOM FOSSIL ACTIVITIES

Book ID/图书代码： 09653014B72117

English Summary/英文概要： Millions of years after vanishing from the Earth, dinosaurs still have the power to stir students’ curiosity. Deepen that interest with Adventures in Paleontology, a series of lively hands-on activities especially for middle schoolers. This beautifully illustrated full color book features 36 activities that open students up to a variety of foundational sciences, including biology, geology, chemistry, physics, and astronomy. For example: ’How Do Fossils Form?’ discusses how organisms become fossils and illustrates the concept with activities that simulate fossil-making processes. ’What Can You Learn From Fossils?’ explores what fossils teach about ancient organisms. ’Mass Extinction and Meteor Collisions With Earth’ discusses recently discovered links between meteor and asteroid impacts on Earth and the demise of animals like dinosaurs. Other chapters cover how to tell the age of the Earth; how dinosaurs evolved; and diversity, classification, and taxonomy.! The final chapters offer humanistic perspectives on fossils in literature and art. As an attention-grabbing complement to the text, vivid full color illustrations show not just skeletons and animal tracks but also what dinosaurs probably looked like in their natural settings. Handy line drawings guide students through each step of the activities.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从地球上消失了几百万年后，恐龙仍然能激起学生的好奇心。《古生物学的冒险》提供了一系列特别适合中学生的生动的实践活动，加深了。这本精美的全彩插图书提供了36个活动，为学生开放各种各样的基础科学，如生物学，地质学，化学，物理和天文学。例如“化石如何形成？”讨论了生物如何变成化石，通过模拟化石制作过程的活动解释了概念。“从化石中你能得到什么？”探究了化石带来了古生物的什么信息。“大灭绝与流星碰撞地球”讨论了最近发现的陨石和小行星对地球的影响和如恐龙之类的动物的灭绝之间的联系。其他章节包括如何识别地球的年龄；恐龙如何进化；多样性，分类和分类系统！最后一章提供了文学和艺术的的化石的人文视角。作为一个引人注目的补充文本，生动的全彩色插图不仅展示了骨架和动物的足迹，还有恐龙在自然环境可能看起来是什么样的。方便的线图引导学生完成活动的每一步。(LNL)

This is a complete, well-structured handbook of hands-on activities that will invite students to have many exciting adventures in paleontology. --Science Books & Films, November/December 2006

Using an active approach, Hansen (geology, Western Washington U.) and former biology and science education professor Slesnick provide activities explaining the fossil-making process and collection, extinction and meteor collisions, the age of the Earth, evolution, classification, and understanding fossils from a humanistic perspective. --SciTech Book News, March 1, 2007

About the Author/作者介绍： 作者汉森自从他六岁的时候第一次在他家后面发现化石后就已经对古生物学感兴趣了。他在德克萨斯大学教过地质学，自1985以后口在西华盛顿大学教书。欧文•史雷斯尼克以俄亥俄州的一个高中数学和科学教师开始了教学生涯，然后在西方华盛顿大学教了35多年的生物学和科学教育。他写了200多篇文章和书籍。史雷斯尼克拥有格林大学的动物学学士学位，密歇根大学的动物学硕士学位，以及俄亥俄州立大学的教育科学博士学位。D.W.米勒喜欢将自己对古生物学的兴趣和绘画结合起来以“给生活带来随着灭绝消失的奇妙的形式”。他的作品除了出现在众多的教科书和杂志上，还被纽约的美国自然历史博物馆，华盛顿史密森学会，伦敦的科学与工业国家博物馆用来展示。米勒在马萨诸塞州的蒙特塞拉特岛的视觉艺术学校，华盛顿奥林匹克公园学院，以及纽约艺术学生联盟中学习。

Thor Hansen has been deeply interested in paleontology since he first found fossils behind his house at the age of six. He has taught geology at the University of Texas and, since 1985, at Western Washington University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in geology at George Washington University and his doctorate in geology at Yale University. Irwin Slesnick started out as a teacher of high school science and math in Ohio and taught biology and science education at Western Washington University for more than 35 years. He has written more than 200 articles and books. Slesnick earned his bachelor’s degree in zoology from Bowling Green University, his master’s in zoology from the University of Michigan, and his PhD in science education from Ohio State University. D.W. Miller likes to combine his interests in paleontology and painting to ’bring to life the marvelous forms lost to extinction.’ In addition to appearing in numerous textbooks and magazines, his work has been used in displays for the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and the National Museum of Science and Industry in London. Miller studied at Montserrat School of Visual Art in Massachusetts, Olympic Park Institute in Washington, and the Art Students League in New York.
