Earth Explorers: Trees, Weather and Landscapes. We still have some places available on our exciting new CLPL course for primary teachers taking place in St Andrews on Saturday 7th March 2026. For further details or to book a place, please visit: geobus.st-andrews.ac.uk/clpl/earth-exp…

Throughout 2026, watch out for our #ResourceoftheMonth posts to announce new resources on our website geobus.st-andrews.ac.uk/resources/. All #FossiloftheMonth, #RockoftheMonth and #MineraloftheMonth posts are already there.

Our final #FossiloftheMonth is a bivalve.

Our #FossiloftheMonth for November is a coprolite.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week we visited Boroughmuir High School, where we were Monitoring Volcanoes with S2 classes. Thanks to all who took part for the great questions about volcanoes and for managing to carry out the experiment outside in very windy conditions.

We’re delighted to welcome Hannah Westerduin to the GeoBus team. A former teacher, Hannah joined us in early November & has been on school visits most days since then! Today we went on a field site check before a school workshop in Edinburgh. No prizes for guessing where we were.

Wednesday and Thursday this week, we were at @WebstersHigh running our Earthquake Building Challenge with S2 and Understanding the Hydrograph with Highers. We witnessed great team work and catastrophic events in every workshop.

We’ve been Dodging Disaster with P4/5 at @Kinglassieps as we discovered whether our defences could prevent the lava from our model volcanoes from reaching the villages. Thanks for all the great questions about volcanoes!

Today, we were working with teachers from Pitteuchar West and East Primary Schools carrying our experiments and taking measurements in our Watching the Weather workshop and then exploring our solar system in our Out of This World workshop. Thanks to all who took part.

We had a second day at St David’s High School, this time working with Highers classes to Understand the Hydrograph. Today’s investigation fun included a trial of our new ‘mini plough’, so furrows were ploughed parallel to contours for one class and perpendicular for the other.

Today, we were in @StDavidsHS exploring the impacts of climate change with S3 and S4. Thanks to all those who volunteered to try out the experiments and activities.

We spent Wednesday and Friday of this week at @KirkcaldyHigh where S2 classes tried their hand at our Earthquake Building Challenge. Here is a small selection of their wonderful designs, some of which actually survived the earthquake!

Our #FossiloftheMonth for October is a Graptolite.

We had a great day at Brechin High School (@BHS_Social_RME_) gathering data and interpreting hydrographs with Highers and exploring the impacts of climate change with S3.

Another fantastic @SAGTeach conference today. Thanks to all who took part in our workshop on Volcanoes as a Transition Topic and those who stopped for a chat at our stand.

This morning at @clydeview_a we were Monitoring Volcanoes with more S2 classes We collected data on our model volcanic eruptions, then formed evacuation plans and finally we tested out the infra red camera to explore just one of the ways volcanologists monitor volcanoes. 🌋

We spent the day at Clydeview Academy running the Earthquake Building Challenge for S2 classes. We had lots of fun using slinkies to demonstrate earthquake waves, recording our own seismograph and testing our buildings to see which ones can survive an earthquake.

Today, we were at the East Dunbartonshire Learning Festival, sharing practical ideas for teaching climate change with science and geography teachers from across the Local Authority.
