The photo below shows teachers in Morocco trying out the Earthlearningidea 'The view from the site; using the view of the local area to tune yourself into the local geology'


All the ‘lumps and bumps’ of a landscape are either natural or the result of human activity; larger features can only be natural. This activity uses these features as clues to the underlying geology and geological structure.
Many more ideas to carry out in the field can be found on our website.

The new ELI+ today is 'How can the ice core evidence for climate change be explained? An educational opportunity for discussing evidence, hypotheses and possible responses'

This activity gives an opportunity to show how a complex scientific topic can be used in the classroom to show how science depends upon evidence and interpretation.
Other ELIs about climate change can be found in 'Teaching strategies' on the website.

The ELI 'Fieldwork: interactive re-creation' suggests activities using simple transportable apparatus to simulate features in the field.

The new ELI today is 'Best classroom eruption? Which type of classroom eruption best shows how volcanoes erupt?'

This activity allows pupils to evaluate different types of classroom eruptions to gauge which best shows how volcanic eruptions are triggered.
Many more activities related to volcanoes and eruptions can be found on our website.

Recently a member of the ELI team has organised workshops for teachers in Rwanda. They were doing one of the new activities which will be published on our website soon.

We have added the photos to the photo gallery which is now quite extensive.
If you have any photos of Earthlearningideas in action, please send them to us for the gallery. All the activities can be found on the website.
