Broad and balanced science courses require students to develop basic process skills such as interpreting data, using graphs and tables, and making deductions, to accompany their knowledge and understanding of the subject. Working with Science is an activity-based series that helps students develop these skills...

This resource looks at the two main drivers of sea level change - isostasy and eustasy. Each of these terms is explained and a worksheet covers both ideas in three practical demonstrations.

In the first practical, which includes both isostasy and eustasy, students undertake experiments which prove that...

This resource explains what a salt marsh is and how they record sea-level changes. As salt marshes are zoned by tidal inundation, salt marsh plants and sediments can then record changes in sea level as the zones move horizontally in response to vertical changes in sea level.

In a practical experiment,...

This resource considers what the microscopic plants and animals found over a salt marsh can show about past sea levels. The two activities in this resource explore these microscopic sea level recorders and how researchers use them to understand sea-level change.

In the first activity, students explore the...

These activity sheets give students the opportunity to look in greater depth at the similarities and differences between Mars and Earth. The activities focus on the basic chemistry and geology of Mars in comparison to Earth, asking students to apply their existing knowledge or use research aids. This resource, as...
