A 70-page Teacher Resource Guide written by practicing Canadian educators accompanies the series. The guide provides a wealth of classroom-ready, reproducible activities that link to curriculum in science, environmental science and geography courses at the Grade 10-12 level. Connections include such key concepts as plate tectonics, mountain building, erosion, and the relationships between the physical and human environments.
The guide is divided into five sections — one for each episode. Each section provides an introduction, teacher background information, curriculum objectives, student activities, suggestions for assessment and extension activities.
