Welcome to Let's Discover Earth - a science workshop designed to educate and inspire primary school students! This workshop is perfect for women teachers who want to help their students understand the fascinating concepts of geology and the Earth's structure.
Here's what the workshop entails:
1. Introduction: We'll begin by introducing the topics that will be covered, including plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes, weathering, erosion, the rock cycle, and the Earth's layers.
2. Exploration of Pangea continent: We'll explain how the landmasses of the Earth have shifted over time, using a visual aid or hands-on activity to illustrate how the continents move.
3. Gems and Minerals: We'll discuss the fascinating world of gems and minerals and allow the students to examine and touch samples of different kinds of gems and minerals.
4. The rock cycle and Earth's Layers: We'll explain the concept of the rock cycle, using a visual aid or demonstration to illustrate how it works. Then we'll discuss the different layers of the Earth's interior.
5. Volcanoes and earthquakes: We'll cover the topic of volcanoes and earthquakes, using a model or video to illustrate how they occur and the causes behind them.
6. Weathering and Erosion: We'll discuss the difference between weathering and erosion and their role in shaping the Earth's surface. We'll engage the students in a hands-on activity to illustrate how weathering and erosion work.
To wrap up the workshop, we'll summarize what the students have learned and have a question and answer session to make sure all the students have a clear understanding of the topics covered.
