To celebrate Earth Science Week, why not encourage your students to enter Schools Geology Challenge?

Schools Geology Challenge is our annual competition for students aged 16–18 to explore a geoscience topic for themselves and present it for an online audience – in any way they want to!

This presentation will provide your students with more information and inspiration for their own entry.
