Educational Resources from The Geological Society: helping learners understand key geoscience concepts to discover the ocean and sea floor

The Geological Society’s Education team are dedicated to inspiring the next generation of geoscientists through innovative educational resources as well as creative and welcoming outreach initiatives. This poster presentation will highlight the range of free, accessible resources designed to support teachers engaging students with key geoscience concepts, focusing on new and improved resources that illustrate the oceanic carbon cycle and plate tectonics.

Our digital resources, curriculum-aligned teaching materials, and hands-on activities aim to foster inquiry-based learning and critical thinking skills. Through our educational resources we strive to nuture a deeper understanding of geoscience among young learners while also empowering teachers with the tools and knowledge they need to inspire their students in the classroom.

This presentation will showcase the breadth of relevant teaching resources available to educators across Europe and open the discussion of strategies for integrating them into classrooms to continue to build a more geoscientifically engaged generation.
