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.
...This collection of resources from the Geological Society highlight some engaging ways to not only teach pupils about rocks, but also fossils, dinosaurs, volcanoes, earthquakes and extracting metal compounds from their ores. The primary and secondary collections are suitable for current teaching whereas the legacy...
This collection of resources from the Geological Society are historic and have not been recently updated. However, the content of them may still be relevant in some educational contexts.
A collection of resources from the Geological Society aimed at primary-aged pupils including activities to explore dinosaurs, rocks, volacnoes and earthquakes.
A collection of resources from the Geological Society aimed at secondary-aged pupils including activities to explore energy, water and mineral resources, volcanoes and earthquakes.
