Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources help students to identify simple rock types and encourage the observation of weathering properties of rocks.

Activities include a visit to a local graveyard to survey the commemorative stones used. Curriculum links include rock cycle,...

In this Science of the Earth unit from the Earth Science Teachers' Association, students are introduced to earth science conservation using a problem-solving and case study approach. Through these activities they develop understanding of the importance to earth scientists of geological exposures and that such...

These materials, produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, contain activities which allow students to identify common minerals.

In relation to fluorspar, students develop an understanding of the economic potential of mineral deposits and reserves.

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 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.

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.

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.

A series of videos, from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in which environmental scientists describe their work, what they enjoy most and how important their choices of A levels were. Environmental science covers a wide range of different careers with a common goal of understanding how our planet...

These activities, from the Centre for Science Education's Science Assessment Tasks for More Able Students, were developed as part of '2005 - Year of the Sea'. The student activities consist of three assessment tasks. These are backed up by a set of exemplar materials for teachers to support their judgements.

A series of three short videos from the University of Liverpool, offering three perspectives on rising sea levels.
