A fun and tasty activity to help students understand plate tectonics and convection currents. Created as a homework activity for my Key Stage 3 and iGCSE geography students in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, who had English as a foreign language. Younger students may require supervision when making their hot chocolate. Could be a nice activity to do in class, or to cheer up their revision sessions. The worksheet is hand drawn.

A resource I created for students who want to understand more about the world. A PDF file, that covers: - THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION of why the sea is salty (references to Isaac Newton, Christopher Wren, King of England, and Edmond Halley’s ‘continental weathering’ theory. We then look at how the question was finally answered in 1979 during an expedition to the black smokers and hydrothermal vents on the Pacific Ocean floor). - THE FOLKLORE EXPLANATION of why the sea is salty (references to the Vikings, Norse Mythology, Grotti’s Song, the Orkney Islands of Scotland and North Atlantic Ocean, and the story of the ants and the friendly giant from the Philippines). - Suggestions for follow up activities The file could be broken into sections as a longer topic or workbook, or given as a stand alone project or introduction to a new topic. There are multiple elements that cross over for topics on Vikings, oceans, exploration, biology, geography, slavery, storytelling , folklore, cultural diversity, and as inspiration and scientists who overcame adversity. May be suitable for gifted younger learners, or for secondary school students, STEM clubs, or students with English as a foreign language.

A colouring activity to help students learn about geography and the world.

A hand drawn activity worksheet that I created for my geography students (of all ages) in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. The activity was to make a volcano and a fact sheet about volcanoes in a group or on their own for their homework. There was a prize for the best ones, and we invited the rest of the school to come and see them in action. It went down very well indeed! It was a great way to finish off the term, with a fun activity after studying tectonics all year.

I drew this fish for my students to colour in and use in their creative writing session as part of our modules on the ocean, animals, environments, and conservation.
