The Earth Exploration Toolbook (EET) presents step-by-step examples of using Earth science datasets and data analysis tools
in educational settings. Each chapter in the EET walks users through a compelling case study in which they use data and
analysis tools to explore issues and concepts in Earth system science. Designed for use by K-12 teachers, undergraduate
faculty, and their students, each chapter provides enough experience and in-depth knowledge of the resource to enable an
educator to use it, apply it to other teaching contexts, or help students use the resource to explore and investigate aspects
of the Earth system of interest to them.
Using our experience in developing the initial five chapters of the EET we are developing a template for the structure of a
chapter. This web-based template will allow those outside the project, who have Earth science datasets and data analysis
tools that they would like to be used by the educational community, to contribute a new chapter to the EET.
In this presentation we will discuss the currently available chapters and EET chapter template, and describe the
opportunities for others to help contribute a chapter to the EET.
