Each of the models in this text plays its part as a hands-on introduction to the stuy of geodesic domes. It was the American architext Buckminster Fuller who pioneered this type of building and who also helped to...
Geodesics
Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.
A geodesic is the shortest distance between two points and here two problems involving cuboids and cylinders are investigated.
The resource is designed to explore aspects of the subject which may not normally be...
Geoengineering
This unit looks at 'geoengineering', which is the implementation of large-scale interventions into the Earth's climate to reduce the impact of climate change. This includes the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or reflection of solar...
Geoengineering, Wind and Sea Squirts
In this podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), two researchers talk about the technological solutions some scientists say might have to be used to tackle climate change.
With average temperatures expected to rise by 2°C this century, and efforts...
Geography - Hydraulic Radius
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that the efficiency of a river can be measured using the hydraulic radius; this depends on the cross-sectional area of the river and the wetted perimeter of the...
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.
Geoheritage
A fact sheet from the Geological Society showing all the places in the UK where rocks from different geological ages can be found, from Silurian limestone at Wenlock Edge in Shropshire to Precambrian Lewisian gneiss in the Outer Hebrides.
Through the use of detailed case studies and scientific theories, the books in the 'Timeline: Life on Earth' series discuss how changes are studied, what the evidence reveals, and how such changes have had - and...
Geological Changes - Earth's Structure and Plate Tectonics
Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these activities allow students to investigate the Earth's structure and plate tectonics. Activities include simulation of density contrasts in the earth's structure, earthquakes and seismic waves, ocean floor spreading and continental drift.
The Geological Processes sub-collection is made up of pedagogical guidance and classroom materials for use with students. All materials were published by the Key Stage Three Strategy and the Secondary Strategy in 2004.
