Teacher Resources

The Geoscience Pathways project has been supporting teachers on the uptake of EES by developing resources for teachers. Have a look at the list of resources and contact our Geoscience Outreach Officer to gain access to them.

Promotional Materials for Earth and Environmental Science

Our Geoscience Outreach Office has made a series of promotional and informative posters about Careers, what the GPP has to offer and more.

Year 10 Climate Change

These resources are aligned to the new SA Curriculum.

Learners explore how energy flows between the Earth's interconnected
spheres and influences global climate patterns, and assess human
impact and management strategies.

This is broken down into the below questions.

What drives our climate?
What is climate change?
What is causing climate change?
How is climate change impacting the Earth?
What can we do about it?

For access to these resources, please contact our Geoscience Outreach Officer, Kelly Sharrad.

Christies Beach High School Testimonial

We found the sequence of resources and lesson notes valuable as a starting point to adapt to the cohort of students in my classes. I especially liked the data that was provided as it created multiple entry points for students to discuss possible climate issues, causes and solutions. The data provided from reputable sources also allowed for explicit teaching of the importance of unbiased data.
