Resources by Earth Science Teachers' Association

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Second-hand Rocks - Introducing Sedimentary Processes

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources introduce students to the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. Students look at the effects that flowing water, ice and wind have on sediments and the formation of the landscape. They see how sediments become cemented and are...

Steps Towards the Rock Face - Introducing Fieldwork

These are classroom based resources designed to show students how to prepare for fieldwork and perform a group survey of geologically-interesting points in their immediate locality. The resource consists of three units:
