Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology 9th Edition, by Richard M. Busch examines the basic processes of geology and their applications to everyday life. Featuring contributions from over 170 highly regarded geologists and geoscience educators, along with an exceptional illustration program by Dennis Tasa, this edition offers a new activities-based approach that gives you a more complete learning experience in the lab.
With the input of more than 100 contributing authors and peer reviewers, Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology is the most richly-illustrated, state-of-the art, user-friendly laboratory available for introductory geology and geoscience. Key This manual consists of fifteen laboratories on the most widely- requested topics. Each laboratory is comprised of introductory materials, 3-7 laboratory exercises, and handy tear-out worksheets.
Laboratories are written in a consistent, user-friendly style and format based on contributions from 45 geologists and geoscience educators. A highly flexible format allows picking and choosing labs. Stimulating visuals! Dennis Tasa, a highly-respected geology illustrator, provides superior art that is pedagogically effective and geologically accurate. Also included is an abundance of high-quality photographs, images, stereograms, maps, and charts to reinforce the visual aspect of geology and enhance student learning.
All labs have been reorganized into a new format that focuses on labs as Activities, complete with tear-out activity sheets rather than lists of questions. The Activities provide firsthand experiences that are designed to appeal to multiple types of student learning and focus on development of both skills and geologic content.
Activities are designed for students to build skills (e.g., observing, investigating, measuring, recording data, charting, graphing and mapping); apply skills and knowledge to analyze and evaluate samples, data, maps, models, and images; and record data/results and inferences.
Tear-out activity sheets are provided in the lab manual separate from significant text, figures, and other supporting lab manual content that students will need to for future study and use of the manual. Instructors save time, resources, and money, because they no longer need to design, photocopy, and hand out activity sheets.
