These two activities, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, involve using the website Galaxy Zoo to classify five samples of ten galaxies. The results are recorded in a table and presented in the form of a bar chart for each sample. These can be drawn on paper or plotted using...

This collection of resources from the Association for Science Education (ASE) and produced by teachers using standard ICT packages, illustrate some of the ways that ICT can be used to enrich existing schemes of work.

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...

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...

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.

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.

Geology: Structure of the Earth was a topic designed by the Northumberland Supported Self Study Unit at Northumberland County Council in the early 1990s for post-16 students. Comprising six units, the topic aimed to not only teach about geological features of the Earth but also to develop learning skills which...

Produced by the Royal Astronomical Society, this booklet gives an overview of UK research, within the fields of geophysics and planetary science. It includes articles on: * Asteroids and comets * Gas giants, Earth's near neighbours * The Magnetosphere * Earth's upper atmosphere * Air, ice and water * Earth's...

This poster explains how to become a geoscientist. A brief explanation is given for the following areas of geoscience: *Energy *Engineering geology *Environmental geology *Geochemistry *Geophysics *Hydrogeology *Metamorphism *Natural hazards *Oceanography *Palaeontology *Planetary science *Sedimentology *...

This resource consists of five lessons in which students research the effect of climate change on glaciers. The overall learning objectives for the lessons are: * To understand the definition of a glacier * To understand what glacier mass balance means (what inputs mass and what are the outputs) * To understand how...

This topic, from the Association for Science Education, allows classes in schools across the world to explore and exchange information about the applications of photovoltaic devices. The version of the topic that can be downloaded here is a trial version and is provided only in English. This resource was edited by...
