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.
