This leaflet sets out the wide range of fields in which geoscientists work and how they play an essential role in many aspects of life, from economics to health.
Dinosaurs
In this resource pupils will learn about geological time, different geological periods and how old the earth is. They will also learn about dinosaurs, their various characteristics, and how they are both similar to, and different from, reptiles we see today. They will discover there are three main different types...
The series covers and expands upon the national curriculum's coverage of 'the earth, the Solar System and beyond' throughout KS3 and into the beginnings of KS4. Each book examines how we know what we know about the Earth and beyond and charts the history of these discoveries.

Earthquakes
In this resource pupils learn that the Earth’s surface is split into tectonic plates and that earthquakes usually happen at plate boundaries. They will explore how when an earthquake happens it releases vibrations, called seismic waves, which can be measured using seismographs and that earthquakes can cause...

Energy resources
This resource from the Geological Society explores how energy resources such as oil, gas, coal, wood, wind, sunlight and geothermal energy are all natural resources that can be used to produce heat and electricity.
Pupils learn that energy sources can be either renewable or non-renewable. Non-renewable...
Energy resources
This resource explores UK energy sources. Students will learn that the UK currently uses a mixture of non-renewable and renewable energy resources for its energy supply but to mitigate climate change, more renewables must be used. Students will be able to give examples of why, where and how, wind, solar,...
Flooding
A fact sheet from the Geological Society about different kinds of flooding, river, costal, groundwater, urban and flash floods, and the role played by climate change in increasing the risk of flooding.
Fossils
This fact sheet for primary pupils explores what fossils are and how they form. It considers why scientists study fossils and what can they tell us about the ancient creatures and plants that once lived on Earth.
