Some great material for researching the Giant's Causeway as part of a DME or questions based exercise.

I made this fun lesson for students arriving back to school into our new building. Designed to get them exploring the new building WITHOUT sticking anything on newly painted walls and doors [to appease the powers that be] but could easily be adapted with QR codes for iPad development too.

First lesson in the settlement topic on the curriculum. What do we NEED to have when building somewhere to live? What do we WANT? How would we LIKE to live?

This is an assessment piece for KS3 that I use as a differentiated set of handouts when setting up the task with groups I usually see twice a week as a two week project. Giving the students access to maps and computers is crucial during this assessment.

This is a gap filler about the history of plate tectonics: a good starter activity to introduce the idea that the Earth is not static or entirely solid.

Questions from 2012-2015 past Key Themes papers combined to use as a revision booklet that could be peer assessed or self assessed one section at a time in class as starters/plenaries.
