The Alaska Resources Kit: 

and THE ALASKA STATE CONTENT STANDARDS INDEX

(by page number)

 

This index contains correlations between the Alaska State Standards and the modules found in the Alaska Resources Kit:  Minerals and Energy.

 

There are two indexes available in the section.   The first index lists the standard and all the activities in the book which reference it.   The second index references the activity and lists all the standards it meets.  

 

The standards have been ranked with a symbol.  Find the explanation below:

O          the lessons teaches part of the standard.

+          the lessons teaches the standard thoroughly to such an extent that the standard could be assessed.  However, please note that to

            teach any standard to an assessment level, one should use more

            then one lesson.

 

Under the column labeled “book” you will find a:

            A             = Module A:  Alaska’s Mining History

            Bel            = Module B:  Alaska’s Geology for Grades K-5

Bms             = Module B:  Alaska’s Geology for Middle School

            C            = Module C:  Alaska’s Minerals and Mining

            D            = Module D:  Alaska’s Ecology/Economy

            E             = Module E:  Alaska’s Energy and the Environment

            F             = Module F:  Alaska’s Forestry

         PA             = Primary Adaptation:  Elbow Deep in Mudpies and Minerals

 

Listed below are the abbreviations for the  Alaska State Content Standards:

L =  English/Language Arts

M =  Mathematics

S =  Science

Geo=  Geography

Gov = Government and Citizenship

Hlth = Health

Hist = History
