The Earth Science Teachers' Association have produced a wide range of resources for use by primary, secondary and post-16 teachers and students. Consisting of a range of printed materials, they include teacher guidance as well as classroom resources. Resources cover general aspects of earth science as well as...

In this set of two activities, pupils will learn what the greenhouse effect and greenhouses gases are and the positive and negative consequences of these on the atmosphere. Pupils will be given the opportunity to build a model and perform temperature measurements to enhance their understanding of the greenhouse...

A Catalyst article about how the study of ancient rocks and sediments can help deduce how the Earth's atmosphere has changed over billions of years. There used to be much less oxygen than there is today. This article describes how the composition of the atmosphere has changed through history; it also explains the...

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these materials encourage students to search for patterns on the Earth, through the use of maps and photographs. This increases students' awareness of major features on both land and under the sea.

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Keys and detection’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included two worksheets to supplement the...

As human population increases our appetite for meat is growing but very soon demand will outstrip supply. Farming large animals puts a strain on our natural resources and creates polluting waste. Scientists are proposing eating insects to help solve this problem. In this activity students are asked to plan a menu...
