Here are my favouite layers and lesson ideas that you can use in conjunction with Google Earth. You may need to save the kml layer to your desktop before opening it from Google Earth. Please help us develop this section by discussing teaching experiences using the layers and lessons, as well as adding your own ideas.
The Weather  Watch as students realise they can look at weather maps covering anywhere in the world! Attachment: Europe Attachment: Global but infrared Attachment: The weather channel satellites on GE | Geographic Super Layer  This SuperLayer allows access to the thousands of images contributed to Geograph of the UK and Ireland. The intent is to have a picture for every quarter mile of land. Attachment : Geographic Super Layer |
Earthquakes  With this download you can watch real time earthquakes from around the globe and measure their size and magnitude. Add to that learning material developed by Noel Jenkins based around students developing a safer San Francisco City using Google Earth, Google Maps, video and the internet. A really worthwhile effort. Attachment: USGS Real Time Earthquake Viewer Link to Noel Jenkins Earthquake Lesson | Volcanoes come alive! Well you can't have one without the other so here is the volcano layer. Info is supplied by the Global Volcanism Programme (sounds scary!) and they include details and a photo for each one.
