These activities are designed to show how Earth science principles can be illustrated out of doors, often without a rock in sight, and how pupils can be engaged in discussions about Earth processes and products. In the 'neighborhood stone watch' students are shown different earth materials used in buildings and asked to note additional examples for homework. In another activity, man-made structures including walls, roads, and tennis courts are used to illustrate the several geologic principles used in sequencing. One activity teaches students what to look for in the interpretation of geologic events, and two others give students practice in reading rocks.
