The new ELI today is 'Picturing igneous rocks – 2; visualise and draw igneous rocks from a verbal description'.
Other activities about igneous rocks can be found in the Alaphabetical index.
Have you tried our cross-curricular ELIs? For example, 'Geo-music - music inspired by all things ‘geo’: create your own geo-music'.
Much of our great music was and is inspired by the natural world. This activity encourages pupils to listen to such music and to compose their own.
This activity creates a cross-curricular link between the sciences and arts and is one of six in the series - - to be found in our Cross-curricular ELIs.
The latest in our net zero emissions target series is 'Liquid biofuels - keeping our wheels turning into the future: investigating fuels produced from biomass'.
The activity describes the use of biomass to produce biofuels. It investigates both first and second generation biofuels. The latter are currently undergoing extensive research and it is hoped that in the future they will replace petrol (gasoline) entirely.
Other activities in this series can be found in our environment category.
This activity can be included in lessons on the rock cycle to model the cooling and crystallisation of magma to form igneous rocks.
