The glaciers of Alaska, the Canadian Rockies, the foothills of California, the Atacama Desert and the Andes of Chile. They're all part of the eastern Pacific Rim and characters in the ongoing tectonic story of our planet. It's a tale of the relentless subterranean forces that have convulsed our cities and overshadow our future.

As Professor Nick Eyles of the University of Toronto Scarborough guides us along this geologic frontline, we discover the inevitable geologic journey of the Earth — a long-term shift that will see the Pacific Ocean crust destroyed and the surrounding land masses brought together.

A 96-page Teacher Resource Guide, written by practicing educators, accompanies the Geologic Journey II series and provides a wealth of activities, lesson plans and curriculum outcomes to assist in integrating the DVDs and the Geologic Journey II web site (cbc.ca/geologic2) into the classroom.

The guide provides the teacher with direction and focus for each of the episodes and gives students opportunities to utilize the vast array of visual resources available to supplement their studies in this area. Using a variety of teaching and learning approaches, the guide explains the geologic features experienced by Dr. Nick Eyles of the University of Toronto Scarborough as he visits these exotic locales with help from local geologic experts. It also extends students' knowledge through writing, reflecting, discussing and explaining their findings.

Please note:
One copy of the Teacher Resource Guide is included with every Geologic Journey II DVD order.
