Description

Traditional teaching methods that focus on the memorization and regurgitation of facts rarely lead to genuine learning. Dr Lisa Doner and her team from Plymouth State University in the US have developed a programme full of practical activities that allow their students to develop the skills needed for a successful geoscience career.

This brochure introduces Lisa's work, offers an insight into careers in geoscience, contains an interview with Lisa's students and includes an activity sheet containing a range of practical geoscience activities.
