Planetary Geology by NASA Education Pubs A Teacher’s Guide with Activities in Physical and Earth Sciences
There is a guide for each
activity level.
Many earth science courses
include an introduction to the solar system. The challenge of earth science is
to understand the natural processes that shape not only our planet, Earth, but
all objects in the solar system. But there are more compelling arguments for
including planetary science in the classroom. Those
arguments, some of which are outlined below, inspired NASA to conduct short
courses in planetology for earth science teachers at the secondary and college
levels. This book is an outgrowth of these short courses.

Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science
It is an excellent, balanced presentation of evolution and how it should be taught in public schools.
It presents clearly what most people fail to understand.
This is a great book for teachers, and every teacher who cares about scientific truth should read it.
