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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
