Abstract	Crustal Evolution Education Project (CEEP) modules were designed to: (1) provide students with the methods and results of continuing investigations into the composition, history, and processes of the earth's crust and the application of this knowledge to man's activities and (2) to be used by teachers with little or no previous background in the modern theories of sea-floor spreading, continental drift, and plate tectonics. Each module consists of two booklets: a teacher's guide and student investigation. The teacher's guide contains all of the information present in the student investigation booklet as well as: (1) a general introduction; (2) prerequisite student background; (3) objectives; (4) list of required materials; (5) background information; (6) suggested approach; (7) procedure, suggesting two 45-minute class periods; (8) summary questions (with answers); (9) extension activities; and (10) list of references. Two activities focus on fossil evidence supporting continental drift. Students describe how paleontologists reconstruct animals from small bits of fossil evidence found in Antarctica, list fossils making best climate indicators (and explain why), describe climatic conditions in Antarctica 200-million years ago, and explain possible location of Antarctica in Cretaceous time based on fossil locations from several continents and where paleontologists might look for new fossil evidence.
