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.

This resource contains lists of the key vocabulary used in many of the topics studied at primary level. Aimed originally at the five to seven age range, the lists could also be used to support older children learning these topics.

This resource contains lists of vocabulary, loop cards and word mats to help develop an understanding of key scientific words at primary level.

The twelve vocabulary lists cover the topics of: materials and their...

This resource contains lists of vocabulary to help develop an understanding of key scientific words at primary level. The twelve vocabulary lists cover the topics of: electricity, sound, states of matter, earth and space, interdependence and adaptation, keeping healthy, life cycles, microorganisms, dissolving and...

This resource supports students in carrying out independent investigations.  It helps them to choose, plan, carry out and write up an in-depth scientific investigation.

Students will use a checklist to critically assess a report of a scientific investigation, and then summarise their findings. The checklist itemises all the important information that should be included in a scientific report and the scientific processes that should have been employed in the investigation.

This unit of six lessons does not assume any prior programming knowledge and covers the following guidelines in the National Curriculum:

• Design - write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into...

This Barefoot Computing resource builds on the ‘Maths quiz with selection’ learning activities which should be undertaken first.

It involves improving an existing Scratch maths quiz and adding score-keeping using...
