The Learning Through Science teachers’ guides and pupils’ assignment cards for the unit Earth give suggestions for activities children could undertake. The cards are divided into groups according to their subject: fieldwork, rock testing, soils, crystals, riches of the Earth, and past environments. On the cards the grouping is denoted by a symbol. The teachers’ guides occupy the first 32 pages of the file, followed by the 24 full-colour, highly illustrated pupils’ assignment cards.
