A fun and educational colouring activity, ideal for primary school students, and students learning English as a foreign language. Can be used as an individual colouring activity during wet break, as a reward, or as part of group work or games where students have to use the character within their story, space or monster setting To follow my world first solo row around the coast of Britain and daily life as an explorer: * Free educational videos: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/sarahrowssolo or Amazon Video: http://amzn.to/2jno3v8 * Free virtual field trips: Skype in the Classroom: https://education.microsoft.com/vikingquest

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 fun DIY activity based on expeditions and explorers. Could be used as part of a lesson on waterproof materials, flammable materials, World Oceans Day, or what to pack for your holiday or expedition. This is a free, downloadable PDF file, to accompany a YouTube video I made as a real life explorer. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k7YJd92nwg&index=4&list=PLd9pxOIcWRI1X9ils3yFk9A_vvedFUiYX

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).

A four page PDF file of my hand written notes. Created by myself for my geography students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, who were unfamiliar with the IGCSE requirements, topic, and with English as a foreign language. Topics include types of tectonic plate, convection currents, plate boundaries, types of plate boundary, and collision plate margins.

This lesson has been created by real life explorer Sarah Weldon FRGS as part of her preparation for a world first solo row around the coast of Britain in 2017. It takes a fun look at the history of the business card, and why people, including explorers need a business card. This activity is centred around a video of Sarah (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ5e_LP0xxE), followed by a cross curricular activity where students should design and make their own business card, practice their social etiquette, and learn more about the importance of the card and it's etiquette in different cultures to their own. Learning Objectives: 1. Students should write for different purposes (KS2 English) 2. Students should plan, draft, edit and proof-read (KS3-4 English) 3. Students should be taught to develop their creativity and ideas, and increase proficiency in their execution. (KS3 Art and Design). 4. Students should consider diverse national, regional, religious and ethnic identities in the United Kingdom and the need for mutual respect and understanding (KS4 Citizenship). 5. Students should recognise common uses of information technology beyond school (KS1 Computer Science). 6. Students should be taught to develop their capability, creativity and knowledge in computer science, digital media and information technology (KS4 Computer Science). 7. Students should be taught to design purposeful, functional, appealing products for themselves and other users based on design criteria (KS1 Design and Technology).

A true story from Royston Raymond's book 'Fishermen's Tales' which recalls the local stories of fishermen from the island of Alderney. This particular story is about Royston's time at sea with a fisherman known as 'The Colonel'. Read by the author himself Royston Raymond. Would make a lovely addition to a literacy lesson, or a lesson about the ocean, World Oceans Day, or the jobs that people do. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3aeTL3Xok4&list=PLd9pxOIcWRI1Mml_r_yvGZnP1XCwOms1I I've transcribed the story into a downloadable PDF format for use in school.
