Supporting the teaching of Earth sciences at all levels Registered charity number 1005331 . There are a number of existing web-based resources for the teaching and learning of Geology aimed at all levels of the National Curriculum. The major sources are listed below with links to the sites.

It can be used to demonstrate many aspects of field geology, but is most notable for displaying a spectacular angular unconformity between tilted Carboniferous limestone beds and overlying, sub-horizontal Jurassic strata. This former quarry is freely accessible and sufficiently large to accommodate visiting groups in safety. This web resource was developed with funds from PESGB. The Earth Science Education Unit (ESEU), based at Keele University, provides a programme of in-service training for KS3 and KS4 in England and Wales that is designed to raise staff confidence and enthusiasm in teaching about the Earth. KS3 topics focus on the QCA Scheme of work, whilst the KS4 topics focus on the GCSE Science syllabus. In Scotland, the programme focuses on primary and lower secondary teachers via the 5-14 Guidelines for Science, Materials from Earth (Level D). The Joint Earth Science Education Initiative (JESEI) was developed specifically to help chemistry, biology and physics specialists with their teaching of Earth science. It includes more than 40 activity-based topics that highlight the relevance and interest of Earth science to KS3 and KS4 pupils. Some of the resources are also useful for both younger and older audiences. Natural England provides information for students and teachers including places that schools can visit, resources for lessons, and contacts for other relevant information. The GeoConservation UK Education Project, Earth Science On-Site, uses 12 former aggregates sites to develop and publish examples of high quality Earth Science field teaching activities for schools up to GCSE level. These are intended for non-specialists and may be adapted for use at other sites. The Geological Society's Rock Cycle website aims not only to explain the rock cycle in language accessible to students from Key Stage 3 upward, but also to present a complete picture of all the major processes that generate the landscapes around us and the rocks beneath our feet. It uses text, pictures, video and animation, and also contains extensive teacher resources. This site will be useful for science, geography and geology teachers and students alike Secondary Teachers Exchanging Geology Online. A new area covering resources suitable for Earth Science components in Science courses. It also has links into materials in GEOTREX that might be suitable for KS3 or KS4 use. Earth Learning Idea is a global, on-line, educational resource, providing free, Earth-related activities for teachers. Most activities require minimal equipment and resources but some (ELI+) require some basic school lab equipment and/or more abstract thought.
