KS3 Geology (Igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary)

Recently updated! This lesson in current use has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, thank you to everyone who helped in the development!

Love this lesson, my degree is in environmental science and getting the kids hands on and identifying rocks is the best way to go about it, you don’t necessarily require samples for this, but it does amplify the learning and engagement by a long way. Don’t forget to throw in a few geology jokes, I mean, there’s loads, almost to a fault, you might have to dig up some up, some are a bit schist, but its gneiss to try and the kids will learn to take nothing for Granite.

Be weird, be funny, be gross, have fun, play, stick to your routines and find that little spark of madness we all have and electrocute the class with it!

My style of teaching isn’t for everyone, I’m a dyslexic teacher who’s heard it all, my lessons are all catered towards accessibility (because if they were not I’d never be able to read them myself). Everything is short sharp and to the point, I don’t believe in endless writing, reams of printing, spoon feeding diagrams or pointless activities. Every minute matters!

Be sure to check out all my other resources, as a personal goal I intend to share all my resources at least once because hey, the government isn’t going to make it easier and we both know you are reading this way outside of your work hours.

Enjoy, comment or rate if you can, but most of all hang in there, they need you way more than you realise!
