Please note content does build but each class can also be taken as a stand-alone class, so you can join and leave anytime using the pay weekly option at no extra cost. All students will get a certificate of attendance with grades if they do the optional coursework.

Please contact me if you need my Degree Certificates sent to you.

Welcome to my "Exciting Geology" course, which focuses on some of the most dramatic physical forces on Earth, with the aim of making learning fun and exhilarating. I think making learning enjoyable and bringing science to life is the best way to get kids engaged and learning without realising it. No previous experience necessary. Please note that children in the lower end of the age range may find some topics slightly advanced for them. 

▬▬▬▬▬▬  CLASS SUMMARY  ▬▬▬▬▬
In this class we focus on the Geology parts of the Earth Science school curriculum, with a new topic being introduced each week. All topics covered are an important part of any child's education in Geology.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  CLASS STYLE  ▬▬▬▬▬
I use PowerPoint presentations for all my classes, so I can mix text and multimedia (photos & videos) which I think makes the class more accessible and interesting. I use educational videos regularly in my classes where this improves the quality of the teaching.

This class will be in a lecture style where students are reminded they can ask questions at any time and I do enjoy questions. This means that you can enjoy the class however you like - speak up and get involved and ask questions, or just listen and enjoy with no pressure.
