History's How the Earth Was Made Complete Season One Video Worksheet Bundle

How the Earth Was Made is a wonderful 13-episode earth science documentary series that was originally broadcast on the History Channel. The episodes are set up as detective stories, where multiple lines of evidence are used to come to reasonable conclusions.

You will need to obtain DVDs of the videos, or locate an internet site for streaming.

How the Earth Was Made tells the story of the Earth by highlighting many of its well-known features. Topics include plate tectonics (San Andreas Fault, Deepest Place on Earth, Iceland, The Alps), earthquakes (San Andreas Fault, Tsunami), volcanoes (Krakatoa, Yellowstone, Hawaii, Iceland), impact craters (Asteroid), and Earth's ice ages and changing climate (Loch Ness, New York, Driest Place on Earth, Great Lakes, Iceland, The Alps). Each episode also highlights many of the historical figures who investigated Earth's mysteries, people such as Leonardo da Vinci, Charles Lyell, and Harry Hess.

The video worksheets are all one-page, double-sided handouts consisting of approximately 45 to 50 multiple choice questions that track the progress of each video. This format enables the students to pay attention to the videos while quickly recording their answers. In this way, the students are not bogged down in writing long responses, and they can better enjoy watching the videos.

The Zip file download includes Keys for each video worksheet. The files are provided in both MS Word and PDF formats.
