Description:
Earth Science field teaching activities for schools have been produced in collaboration with partners in the Earth Science Teachers’ Association (ESTA), the Earth Science Education Unit (ESEU) and the National Stone Centre (NSC). Materials have been devised to address the requirements of the National Curriculum at key stage 2 [7 – 11 yrs]. KS 3 [11-14yrs], KS4 [14 -16 yrs – GCSE]. There are 16 fieldwork sites in England described on this site and they are intended as exemplars and may be adapted by teachers for use at other sites. The Earth Science On-Site website domains unfortunately lapsed during the shutdown of many organisations from late March 2020 as the Government responded to the Covid-19 pandemic. All the materials have been rescued from CDs distributed at teachers’ conferences and backed-up copies on the computers of the original contributors. Peter and Maggie Williams have uploaded everything onto the GeoHubLiverpool website.
