The School of Geosciences have created three OERs for teachers of pupils studying biology, geography and environmental science at Higher and Advanced Higher, from current research outputs.

Created by author Kay Douglas, the power points are provided on a CC BY licence. They have been uploaded to TES Connect which hosts a range of lesson materials for early years, primary, secondary, and special needs teaching.

These resources have been created to complement the Geoscience Guides.
