Teaching Earth Sciences: Guide for Authors The Editor welcomes articles of any length and nature and on any topic related to Earth science education from cradle to grave. Please inspect back copies of TES, from Issue 26(3) onwards, to become familiar with the magazine house-style. Text Please supply the full text on disk or as an email attachment: Microsoft Word is the most convenient, but any widely-used wordprocessor is acceptable. Figures, tables and photographs must be referenced in the text, but sent as separate jpeg or tiff files (see below). Please use SI units throughout, except where this is inappropriate (in which case please include a conversion table). The first paragraph of each major article should not have a subheading but should either introduce the reader to the context of the article or should provide an overview to stimulate interest. This is not an abstract in the formal sense. Subsequent paragraphs should be grouped under sub-headings.
