Are you coming to @JCSFCollege this September? Why not come and study Earth Science? Great job opportunities and it is a science A level. #thinkgeology

I was talking about a town in geography today and none of the students had heard of it... 1 hour later I'm in the lab and here we see...

My attempt to produce a model to form the basis of teaching this to 6th form pupils.

My aim is to distill the core elements (pun intended) to help them develop a schema which they then apply to particular examples, such as this tomographic scan of the mantle.

Thoughts?

Only acceptable approach to learning! Failure is a small point in time, not a lifetime

Let the games begin!!!!!

[Mineral Cup #MinCup @MineralCup]

It’s that most beautiful time of the year! A mix of 32 minerals (& groups!) from common to esoteric are competing, each with unique reasons to love it above all others.

But only one mineral can be crowned champion.

#MinCup2021 daily votes start September 1st.

Planet Earth is on my wall!

Well this be on my intro test for Geography! Really interesting to see the difference in economic change over 2020. Some countries clearly having a very strong approach

@JoConwayGeology Mainly zoomies at the moment! And attacking big dogs!

[Earth Science at JCC @JCCEarthSci]

Results day tomorrow so time to think deep, calm, soothing thoughts. Maybe try to channel your inner beagle and just pass out randomly on the kitchen counter!

@JoConwayGeology He is currently tearing round the living room like a child on e-numbers and sugar!

@marcreichow 6 hours of mayhem, 18 hours of snoozing. And he offers himself as additional dishwasher service! Good deal for a puppy!

With the Olympics over we can now start thinking about 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games! £800 million investment into the city happening. How will it improve our city? Be interesting to see over the next year!

Massive thank you to the waste team for showing me round the landfill today. One of the perks of being the councillor for your county landfill & being a geologist, you get to see the engineering you teach in action!

Room ready for the flyby for the virtual tour video. Shame I won't see this drone but at least it'll have something to look at!

Argh! It's the last day with my 2nd years. Can I keep them? Just one more year!

[Earth Science at JCC @JCCEarthSci]

@jcclegal The only way I now deal with cake and peril!

[Earth Science at JCC @JCCEarthSci]

Getting used to this sunshine!

Yesterday I found Jurassic Jellies in Asda... dinosaur themed sweets. This evening I discovered these... I am literally only eating dino pasta for the rest of my life!

@lochranzacentre When can we come back? This is the longest I have gone without an Arran fix in over 12 years! I genuinely cannot cope!
