Rocks |
Explore geology in a fun and
practical manner, with Science Off the Page. Science Off the Page provides
valuable learning opportunities to the pupils through a combination of
practical activities and hands on experience with natural materials.
Workshops
Science Off the Page will bring
all the equipment and materials necessary to set up workshops in your hall.
The day will involve a general introduction for all using a breakfast tray,
thinking about early morning routines and trying to answer the question
‘Where have we met rocks so far today?’ (e.g. toothpaste [chalk], salt,
glassware, plastics etc.) After this, there will be ten work
stations, all with a practical element, recording and making. These will
include:
- Permeability
- Sorting and classification
- Hardness
- Testing for magnetism
- Seashore erosion
- Shells and fossil making
- Sandstone
- Sediment
- The effects of water
- Weathering
- Water slide
There will be a session on the
river table using a richly illustrative method and there will also be the
possibility of an outside materials trail in the school grounds (depending
on circumstances).
After the Workshops
The day will end with a quiz.
