The Laboratory Book for GEOL 1340 The Dynamic Earth is an open-access geology lab manual designed for the Fall and Winter terms in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Manitoba.
This manual includes exercises that promote active student observation and encourage inquiry-based learning, creating an engaging and dynamic educational experience in the lab sessions of this first-year course.
You can download a PDF version to use on your device or print it yourself, allowing you to take control of your learning experience. You can also (optional) purchase a black and white paper version from the UM bookstore.
The development of the Laboratory Book for GEOL 1340 was made possible by an OER Grant to Ricardo L. Silva from the University of Manitoba Libraries.
