This resource is made up of informational power points focussing on earth observation technology and activity packs which guide students through the interpretation of satellite data to observe the effects of deforestation, human activity, seasons and climate change. This is an interdisciplinary resource which includes historical background, graphical and map data, with regular pauses for students to make written considerations of the observed geography and events. The activity packs also provide opportunities for students to develop their technical skills and gain awareness of the worldwide environment and the impacts of human action on the environment. This resource is suggested as a third and fourth level science resource (suggested ages 10 - 16). Relevant Learning Outcomes: SCN 3-11b, SCN 4-06a, LIT 3-28a, LIT 4-28a, LIT 3-06a / LIT 4-06a, SOC 4-10a , SOC 3-14a , SOC 4-14a, MNU 4-20a, MNU 3-11a, MNU 4-11a, TCH 4-14c It is suitable as a standalone resource.

The Earth system is full of cycles - a strong contrast to the often linear product pathways in our society. The organic matter cycle is one of them, it is easy to grasp with lots of potential for hands-on ecological science and outdoor learning! Originally developed for primary school children with complex behavioural and emotional needs (aged 9-11 years), this series contains three lesson plans full of hands-on learning activities. The lessons are easy to carry out, built on individual and group based learning activities and have an emphasis on the outdoors. Suitable for teaching pupils at Scottish CfE First and Second Levels. Exact E&Os are detailed in the resource. Keywords: biology, ecology, organic matter cycling, EdUniOERGeo

Germs, Disease, Vaccines & Chemical Reactions has been created as a teaching resource for the City of Edinburgh Council’s ‘Curiosity Club’, an Intervention Strategy initiative that is currently operating in Council schools. The focus of the four planned lessons is to increase knowledge and awareness during and after the covid-19 pandemic and help support the pupils in developing fair tests and inquiry skills. In each of the four/five sessions, the scene is set by Jason Leitch, Clinical Director asking pupils to act as investigators to solve a problem. The first introduces four types of microbe and where they lurk in schools. The second is a comparison experiment using a plant spray to mimic sneezing. The third session explores vaccines and fair testing on chemical reactions. The final session uses a card game to explain pandemics and global diseases patterns. A lab-book is enclosed with optional additional worksheets. The Teacher’s guide offers help with the experiments (including photos) and basic science on the resource in addition to hyperlinked resources. All sessions can be linked to the covid-19 pandemic if wished. Help and resources are to be found in the Teacher’s Guide. Contents in this resource • Extensive Teacher’s guide o Lesson Plan o Resource list and safety information o ‘Basic Facts and online resources’ (hyperlinked) o ‘Help with the Investigation’ (includes photos) • PowerPoint presentations. Included in these are the letter (‘hook’) from the current National Clinical Director, Professor Jason Leitch. Here are some of his videos (In the Young Scot one, he introduces himself) • Lab Book (short reflective notebook) • Learner worksheet for ‘sneeze experiment’ (session 2) • Pandemic cards (for photocopying in session 4) • Suggestions for extension **Learning outcomes in the Curriculum for Excellence ** SCN 2-19a, SCN 2-20a, SCN 2-20b, SCN 1-13a Second Level: Sciences Inquiry and Investigation skills: SOC 2-14a, SOC 2-19a, MTH 2-21a This resource was created as part of the GeoScience Outreach Course, which is a 4th year undergraduate course in the School of GeoSciences aiming to provide students with the opportunity to develop their own science communication and engagement project.

This resource contains two items, a detailed lesson plan and an accompanying slideshow/deck. Created by The University of Edinburgh’s Wikimedian-in-Residence, Ewan McAndrew, the plan should assist any Wikipedia trainer in how to run a Wikipedia editing training sessions. If you’re located in the UK, please message Wikimedia UK (info@wikimedia.org.uk) to let them know you are planning to run a training session as there are signup sheets, feedback forms and Wikimedia swag materials they can provide you with along with guidance about best practice. They can also potentially link you with Wikipedians in your area to help out at the session. Cover image is Editing Wikipedia by Veronica Erb on Flickr, licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.

Educational level: Second level (SCQF 2-3) (SCN 2-02a, SCN 2-02b, SCN 3-01a, TCH 2-06a, SCN 3-05b, SOC 2-08a, SOC 2-08b, SOC 3-07a, SOC 3-10a, MTH 2-13a, MNU 2-20a) This resource by Nula Langmuir explores the concept of rewilding as a form of environmental conservation through art in an accessible and inquisitive way. It comprises of a set of three lessons, presentations, guides and notes with an optional fourth. The target audience for this resource is learners aged 7-11, involving conservation and the environment. Resource includes slides, lesson plans and notes, worksheets and printable activities. Lesson 1 comprises of a series of activities, including drawing a landscape, word association and key definitions, and food webs. Lesson 2 explores rewilding from Space, and the geography of how landscapes has changed over time. Lesson 3 uses the example of a field trip to Roslin Glen, but the activity can easily be adapted to your local area. The aim is to consider how rewilding may take place on a global and local scale. Lesson 4 is optional, a reflective activity which asks the learners to recall what they have learnt and evaluate it.

This resource is a set of three lessons for children learning at the first SCQF level, inspired by the work of environmental heroes David Attenborough, Greta Thunberg and Poppy Okotcha. Each lesson begins with a brief storytelling of the person’s work and aims, followed by learning through art and craft activities based on nature and the environment. These activities encourage the children to consider, imagine and feel empowered to work towards the future that they want for the world. The children can develop their appreciation of nature and the ways in which humans interact with the natural environment. Through activities including nature journaling, crafting planters and storyboard or poster making, the students can apply their creative and observational skills whilst learning about the world. The resource cover document gives a fully detailed overview of the resource.

This resource is a set of information packs, worksheets and a presentations on the topic of Satellite Earth Observation complete with slides. The target audience for this resource is learners ages 10-14. This interdisciplinary resource was originally developed by SatSchool using current research and development from global scientific communities. It is an adaption of the online Introduction to Earth Observation Module, available on the SatSchool Web Page. These resources provide foundational knowledge for understanding the way we can use technology to produce digital imaging, and introduce the history of satellite developments leading up to current technology. Learners are encouraged to ask questions, engage with scientific developments and consider the role of real-world scientists in understanding the Earth and Space. Earth observation explores the use of satellites and other technology used to measure Earth from space. This resource introduces this through booklets covering four key sections: Overview Satellites and Orbits Satellite Sensors Image Resolution Also included is an introductory overview presentation and two activity worksheets. Where two versions of a document are included, one version is an editable version ( e.g. Word document) and the other is the best format for viewing/printing (PDF). All the resources are contained in a compressed folder in the download pack. The pack also contains a selection of images used only to provide preview images on the tes webpage.
