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.
