SUPER-CURRICULUM

Geology helps us understand the very foundations of our planet. It explores the Earth’s materials, structure, processes, and history, giving us vital insight into natural hazards, resources, and environmental change. As a subject, it combines aspects of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geography, making it a truly multidisciplinary field of study.

Through super-curricular activities, you can explore fascinating topics such as the impact of volcanic eruptions on societies, the importance of minerals in modern technology, or how fossil evidence reveals the story of life on Earth. Recommended reads like The Map That Changed the World or The Planet in a Pebble offer engaging perspectives on how geology shapes human history and our future. You can also try interactive challenges, such as virtual fossil hunts or crystal-growing experiments, to build curiosity and practical understanding.

To be a great geologist, you will need to develop strong analytical and observational skills, learning to interpret evidence from the smallest rock sample to the largest tectonic system. Geology is not just about rocks and fossils; it is about the dynamic processes that have shaped—and continue to shape—our planet, and how humanity interacts with these natural systems.
