Second-hand Rocks - Introducing Sedimentary Processes

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources introduce students to the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. Students look at the effects that flowing water, ice and wind have on sediments and the formation of the landscape. They see how sediments become cemented and are...

Earth's Surface Features

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.

Magma - Introducing the Igneous Processes

Produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, these resources start by looking at the viscosity of liquids and relate this to magma involved in volcanic eruptions. They go on to show the properties of magma and the resultant landscapes that are formed as well as how cooling rates influence the rocks formed...

Bulk Constructional Minerals

Part of the Earth Science Teachers' Association collection, these materials help students look at the use of bulk raw materials in construction. Practical activities look at materials such as granite, slate, limestone, gravel, sand and clay. Other resources enable students to look at where bulk materials are...
