• WANTED
• GCSE AS-LEVEL BIOLOGISTS, CHEMISTS,
  MATHEMATICIANS, PHYSICISTS
• A WORKSHOP PURE SCIENCES IN THE STUDY OF
• PLANET EARTH, ITS NATURAL HAZARDS AND RESOURCES
• Saturday 17 March 2007
• Invitation The Department of Earth and Ocean
  Sciences at the University of Liverpool will be
  presenting a full-day workshop for school pupils
  and teachers, with the aim of introducing Earth
  Sciences to those pupils undertaking pure
  sciences. It will benefit science teachers who
  teach Earth Sciences (we recognize that teachers
  of Earth Sciences include Chemists, Physicists,
  Biologists and Geographers). This is a sponsored
  event held as one of the Bicentenary Celebrations
  of The Geological Society (London) and it is also
  sponsored by the Higher Education Academy Subject
  Centre for Geography, Earth and Environmental
  Sciences. Liverpool has a special relationship
  with the geology of granites, as two pioneer
  geologists, Professors H.H. Read and W.S.
  Pitcher, spent substantial parts of their careers
  in the (then) Department of Geology and
  revolutionised the ways in which we understand
  the development of the continents on which we
  live.
• The workshop will be suitable for Year 11 and 12
  (GCSE/AS-level) science pupils and their teachers
  to show how their science can be applied in Earth
  Sciences. The aim is to take aspects of science
  and show how they can be used to understand the
  nature and evolution of planet Earth, the
  continents and granite in particular. It will
  demonstrate how basic science helps understand
  the workings of our planet, and how Geology,
  Geophysics and Oceanography may lead to an
  exciting and rewarding scientific career.
• We propose to present four hands-on workshop
  stations and there will be a take-away pack,
  including a CD/DVD and manual, to aid teachers of
  Earth Sciences.
• Workshop Stations (for 140 participants in four
  groups)
• Molten rock and volcanic eruptions
