Rocks, soil and weather: research reports
The primary SPACE (science processes and concept exploration) project has, since 1968, been working closely with teachers to gather systematic information about children's understanding in the ten science concept areas covered by the British National Curriculum.
The SPACE Research Reports present the results of this exciting enquiry into the ideas which children form about scientific concepts and processes.
This seventh report is the first to be concerned with aspects of the earth sciences and elucidates children's ideas about the nature of rocks, soil and the structure of the planet. Some tentative association is seen through erosion and transportation processes with weather. The weather section includes forecasting and some of the variables associated with weather.
