Introduction

Earth sciences is best taught by means of investigations of various types. Many investigational approaches have been published and this catalogue contains approximately 900, and provides an evaluation of them along lines suggested by the aims of the Secondary Science Curriculum Review (SSCR). The catalogue cannot be exhaustive, and recently published material is absent. A shortlist of some recent material is given in Appendix 3. The evaluation of the material was undertaken by members of the Curriculum Working Group of the Association of Teachers of Geology under the chairmanship of Chris King. The reviewers are listed in Appendix 2. The product of their efforts was collated and edited by Tim Guy.

Acknowledgements

The support and encouragement of Reg Bradshaw and David Thompson, successive presidents of ATG, has been invaluable. Financial support for the editor was given in the form of part time secondment funded jointly by the Associaition of Teachers of Geology and the Secondary Science Curriculum Review. Publication has been made possible through the kindness and cooperation of Mr. David Neal of Yale Sixth Form College, Wrexham, Mr. Rod Urquhart of the Clwyd advisory service and Mr. Brian Atwood of the Association of Science Education. The cover design is by Mr John Matthews, Yale Sixth form College.

Use of the Catalogue

The catalogue is organized into sections according to the content of the investigation as defined by certain keywords. Naturally any such system has its limitations. However the volume of material presented is such that it should be possible for teachers to browse through selected chapters and locate suitable material for a given topic. Under each major keyword the investigations are organized according to author, thus items from the same source wiU be linked together. allowing the user to make a rapid selection of the most suitable references. In the near future it is hoped to produce an electronic counterpart to this catalogue. thus allowing rapid updating and searching on other criteria used in the evaluation, such as 'age and ability' range or 'type' of investigation.

Much valuable information may be gathered by browsing through the material and such a study should provide many useful ideas on which to develop investigations most suited to the particular circumstances of the user. It will be obvious that much of the material is pre-GCSE in outlook and will need adapting to the demands of GCSE criteria. However, many teachers have already taken the ideas presented here and have used them successfully in GCSE teaching. Many of the investigations will be particularly for teaching Earth sciences in the National CurriaJlum.

A typical entry for the catalogue is given below. N.B. if a heading does not apply to a given entry, it will not be shown inthe catalogue, i.e., if there is no additional commentthenthe heading is omitted.

Description: This is a short description of the investigation. This may well be enough to enable users to devise similar investigations suited to their particular circum­stances.

Author, bookljournal etc: These are self-explanatory. A full list of the sources used in compiling the catalogue is found in Appendix 1.

Type: The type of investigation selected from this list: paper/pencil, book research, practical, experimental, data response, teacher resource and map research.

A practical investigation will usually involve handling apparatus or materials, an experimental investigation will involve controling variables. For example showing that rocks become rounded by shaking in a container is practical, whereas comparing the rate of rounding in air and water is experimental.

Reviewer: The initials of the reviewer, see Appendix 2.

Comment: Any further comment(s) made by the reviewer.
