"This textbook covers concepts and interactive learning activities on Earth materials, its surface and internal processes and a brief historical background. The activities provided are simple, easy to perform and the materials are available in our environment and are very relevant to the better understanding of the subject. Some activities are limited to the availability of materials that students can use inside the classroom, others require on-line sources which are intended to enrich their understanding of some geological issues that cannot be made available for classroom observation and testing."
