Google Earth Rocks!

Google Earth is an amazing tool to use in the science classroom. I will be able to use it especially when studying pollution in Grade 7. Students can use Google Earth to view changes in areas over time of where factories have been or with Grade 6 of mining and destruction of habitats. Grade 7 will also be able to use Google Earth Moon and Mars views as well as the sky view when studying Astronomy. I would like to use Google Earth tours to present areas to students where current events are occurring in Ecology or Archaeology or Geology so they can connect with the area the scientists are talking about. I think Google Earth will become a very effective tool in presenting field trips to students we would like to take together, but are geographically impossible. The more we use Google Earth, the more applications of it we will discover together in the science classroom.
