    Featured collections showcase selected digital curriculum resources related to current affairs.

    The first collection in the series supports teaching about tectonic plates and the causes and effects of earthquakes.

    Support for teaching about earthquakes

    This collection of 12 digital curriculum resources is organised into three categories: fault lines, causes and effects of earthquakes, and tectonic plates. The collection contains images of fault lines, several learning objects that investigate tectonic forces and plate movements, and a learning object in which students create a television show about earthquakes. The collection also includes several assessment resources to assess a student's ability to use geological evidence to interpret past events such as earthquakes.

    Please note that to view the full resources in the collection you will need to log in to Scootle or your school portal. For more information about accessing The Le@rning Federation resources please go to the Access information page.
