The major sources are listed below and they can all be accessed from the ESTA website www.esta-uk.org Resource Level/Age Link Description GEOTREX ESEU JESEI NATURE FOR SCHOOLS AS & A2 (16+ yrs) KS3 & KS4 (11-16 yrs) KS3 & KS4 (11-16 yrs) KS2 & KS3 (7 -14 yrs) Geology Teacher’s Resource Exchange (GEOTREX) aims to facilitate networking and the sharing of resources and ideas, making teaching and learning more effective for everyone. 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 and Materials. 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. English Nature has developed more than 100 lesson plans that provide activities and information to help pupils better understand nature and the natural environment. There are also suggestions for outdoor activities appropriate for almost all schools to use in their own locality. The resource pages support the National Curriculum at KS2 and KS3, with some material for KS1 (5-7yrs).
