Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology

The Laboratory Manual in Physical Geology, 12th Edition offers an inquiry and activities-based approach for introductory geology course students. Developed by the American Geological Institute, NAGT - National Association of Geoscience Teachers, and Vincent Cronin, this manual guides practical laboratory study.

Instruction centers on foundational concepts in physical geology and active investigation of geological processes. The exercises ground students in observational techniques and scientific inquiry throughout their laboratory work.

An illustration program created by Dennis Tasa clarifies physical concepts. This manual fits standard introductory earth science lab curricula requiring structured student activities.
