Scott Engering, our geology expert for the “Rock On!” expedition has been blogging about his experiences with our students during the fieldwork in the Don Gorge. You can view his site here:
Students need to add four diagrams to their STEM books.
1. The formation of layers of different rocks over millions of years.
2. The folding of the rocks in Britain, dipping to the South East.
3. The weathering and erosion of rocks.
4. Strata found at the surface.
Here is a link to a youtube video to help:

Students need to access the school website using their school usernames and passwords.
They should then click on the “Rock On!” button. This will take them to the expedition website. There is a link from here that says texts. On the texts page there is a video called “James Hutton: Thinking Like a Scientist”.
Student should watch this video, then in their STEM books answer the following question:
“How did James Hutton think like a Scientist?”
Use some of the following keywords in your paragraph:
Theory, Evidence, Idea, Connections, Prediction, Curiosity, Observation, Question, Presentation
Student without internet access have been given a transcript of the video.
