Questions to ask about recording geological data

Today's new ELI is 'Questions for any rock face 14: recording - what questions about recording geological data might be asked at any rock exposure?'

Pupils should consider if the site were to be filled in or destroyed, in what ways could the geological information be recorded for future use? Many methods could be used. The pupils then need to think about which of the ways they have identified would be best and why. Lastly, where should the records be held?
This activity completes our series of questions to ask at any rock face. Previous ELIs and many more concerned with fieldwork can be found on our website.
