A colouring page that I created for my class as part of a module on coastal defence in Britain. The page shows the bricks on the harbour wall in Alderney, British Channel Islands. Could also be used for a lesson on materials and properties or engineering. "Braye Harbour (also known as Alderney Harbour) is the main harbour on the north side of the Island of Alderney, in the Channel Islands, a dependency of the British Crown. A 3,000 feet (910 m) break-water built by the Admiralty to protect the Navy in the 19th century shelters Braye Harbour.[1][2][3] It is an artificial harbour created by building a pier or jetty. The harbour faces out onto the Swinge, which is part of the English Channel. It is here that most of the island's freight comes in. It is more or less a suburb of St Anne, which is a large settlement in Alderney that juts out on a rocky promontory on the west side, approximately 1 mile from the harbour".

A hand drawn activity worksheet that I created for my geography students (of all ages) in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. The activity was to make a volcano and a fact sheet about volcanoes in a group or on their own for their homework. There was a prize for the best ones, and we invited the rest of the school to come and see them in action. It went down very well indeed! It was a great way to finish off the term, with a fun activity after studying tectonics all year.

This is a YouTube video and a PDF download about the Northern Gannets which live on Gannet Rock on the British Channel Island of Alderney. During World War II, in 1940 there was just one pair of gannets on the rock, but with the Nazis on the island and the local people evacuated to the mainland, fishing declined and so the gannets flourished. You can track the gannets migration pattern online too! http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_video?v=ibGiSKZU8jQ&ref=share Please leave me a review and I will send you any other resource of your choice for free (contact me: office@oceansproject.com).

References to the use of ambergris during the Black Death, as part of the King of England's breakfast, and use by the ancient Egyptians.

I've created a series of free videos following my own Triops tank, and will be creating further resources in the future, with suggestions for experiments and observations. The triops kits can be purchased relatively cheaply (online or from toy stores), have everything you need in them, or you could set up your own tank, and just purchase the eggs online (a number of different species are available). Triops are small crustaceans, related to woodlice, horseshoe crabs, and lobsters, and were around during the triassic period, when the dinosaurs were. They have changed very little since then which is why we say they are 'living fossils'. The eggs hatch around 24-48 hours, and the triops have a lifespan of approximately 90 days. In the first few weeks they shed their skins daily, doubling in size most days. They are both male and female, will lay eggs, burrow in sand, have three eyes, and gills in their legs to help them breathe. They are great for teaching about life cycles and species, as well as having students come up with their own theories, hypothesis, and experiments. For example, will the triops grow bigger if they live in a bigger tank, what are the ideal hatching conditions, what foods do they like best, are they affected by things like light, temperature, or the pH of the water? What can you do to prolong the lifespan of a triops?

A resource I created for students who want to understand more about the world. A PDF file, that covers: - THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION of why the sea is salty (references to Isaac Newton, Christopher Wren, King of England, and Edmond Halley's 'continental weathering' theory. We then look at how the question was finally answered in 1979 during an expedition to the black smokers and hydrothermal vents on the Pacific Ocean floor). - THE FOLKLORE EXPLANATION of why the sea is salty (references to the Vikings, Norse Mythology, Grotti's Song, the Orkney Islands of Scotland and North Atlantic Ocean, and the story of the ants and the friendly giant from the Philippines). - Suggestions for follow up activities The file could be broken into sections as a longer topic or workbook, or given as a stand alone project or introduction to a new topic. There are multiple elements that cross over for topics on Vikings, oceans, exploration, biology, geography, slavery, storytelling , folklore, cultural diversity, and as inspiration and scientists who overcame adversity. May be suitable for gifted younger learners, or for secondary school students, STEM clubs, or students with English as a foreign language.
