Resources by Earth Science Teachers' Association

Science of the Earth Unit 4: Building Sedimentary Structures

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these materials enable students to study sedimentary structures and, by practical investigations, the processes that form them.

Work in the school laboratory helps students to understand how ancient rock structures and geological histories can be...

Science of the Earth Unit 5: Waste - and the Hole in the Ground Problem

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources look at domestic waste disposal.

Students examine options for dealing with waste, including the use of landfill. They also consider other uses for such 'holes in the ground' that remain after the extraction of mineral resources.

Science of the Earth Unit 6: Nuclear Waste - the Way Forward?

These materials, from the Earth Science Teachers' Association, show the role of geology and geologists in the selection of sites for the disposal of nuclear waste.

Activities encourage students to consider the features of appropriate sites.

Science of the Earth Unit 7: Neighbourhood Stone Watch

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources encourage students to observe different rock types in their local environment.

This includes the simple laboratory tests on the properties of different rock types and an appreciation of the range of rocks used in buildings.

Science of the Earth Unit 8: Moving Ground

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources help students to understand that land movements occur in Britain and investigate the factors that lead to ground failure. Students consider how potential failures can be managed.

Science of the Earth Unit 9: Ground Water Supplies

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these materials encourage students to examine a case study for a water supply scheme.

Students look at features such as porosity, permeability and hydrological data whilst analysing the scheme.

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources look at the geology of the moon and how processes such as impacts have shaped its landscape.

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these materials look at the water cycle and the processes involved, such as evaporation, condensation, transpiration and precipitation.

These materials, produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, look at the use of different rocks for the production of road surfaces.
