The School of Geosciences have created four OERs for pupils studying at Higher and Advanced Higher (AS-Level and above) from current research outputs.

Created by authors Kay Douglas & Sophie Flack, the guides 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.

 

Guide to Drawing and Interpreting Graphs in Geosciences

A resource for pupils studying at Higher and Advanced Higher (AS-Level and above) which details the use of graphs in the field of geoscience. May be of use to teachers of geography, the sciences or even as an application of mathematics. Of use for helping to achieve problem solving, data handling and scientific investigation learning outcomes.

 

Guide to Scientific Investigation in Geosciences

A resource for pupils studying at Higher and Advanced Higher (AS-Level and above) which details scientific investigation and the methodology used in the field of geoscience. May be of use to teachers of geography and science (particularly biology). Of use for helping to achieve problem solving, data handling and scientific investigation learning outcomes.

 

Guide to Descriptive Statistics in Geosciences

A resource for pupils studying at Advanced Higher (AS-Level and above) which details the use of descriptive statistics in the field of geoscience. May be of use to teachers of geography, the sciences or even as an application in a mathematics or statistics course. Of use for helping to achieve problem solving, data handling and numeracy learning outcomes.

 

Guide to Inferential Statistics in Geosciences

A resource for pupils studying at Advanced Higher (AS-Level and above) which details the use of inferential statistics in the field of geoscience. May be of use to teachers of geography, the sciences or even as an application in a mathematics or statistics course. Of use for helping to achieve problem solving, data handling and numeracy learning outcomes.
