Resources
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.
This series of resources, produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, help students gain a greater understanding of earth science. Extensive teacher guidance and student materials encourage an investigative approach to the subject.
Areas covered include:
- the properties of different rock...
These Earth Science Teachers' Association resources provide an introduction to geology and earth science through practical activities and observations. Each resource has detailed teacher guidance and materials for use with students in the classroom.
The materials cover a large range of topics and include:...
Science of the Earth Unit 10: Astrogeology and the Clues on the Moon
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.
Science of the Earth Unit 11: The Water Cycle
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.
Science of the Earth Unit 12: Which Roadstone?
These materials, produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, look at the use of different rocks for the production of road surfaces.
Students look at the construction of roads and investigate the properties of different rocks and analyse which applications they are suited to.
Science of the Earth Unit 13: The Geological Timescale
Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these materials help students understand the scale of geological time through diagrams and models.
Science of the Earth Unit 14: Who's for a Hot Tight Squeeze in Inner Space?
Produced by the Earth Science teachers' Association, these resources aim to help students understand the economic benefit derived from the use of natural raw materials.
In doing so, students gain an understanding of obtaining materials from rocks and also the temperatures and pressures operating underground...
Science of the Earth Unit 15: Geothermal Energy
This series of resources, produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, helps students gain a greater understanding of earth science. Extensive teacher guidance and student materials encourage an investigative approach to the subject.
...Science of the Earth Unit 17: Cool it - Liquid Magma to Solid Rock
These materials, from the earth Science Teachers' Association, introduce the concept of kinetic theory and relate it to the formation of igneous rock.
Students see how the rate of cooling and crystal size relate to the formation of igneous rocks.
