Pupils could:
- read books about the Earth and its history and newspaper articles about weather conditions (floods and high winds) or volcanic eruptions
- watch television programmes or videos, including feature films, about the Earth, which help them understand how rocks are formed
- visit science museums to see displays about the Earth and its rocks and simulations, which will help them to imagine the effects of earthquakes and the forces involved
- visit other museums and art galleries, garden centres and builders' yards, to see how rocks are used
- read science fiction texts about earlier geological ages
- visit the seashore to observe shingle, sand, river estuaries and cliffs, or hills to observe peat and rock formations,
