Ever thought about using quarries as a topic for a coursework essay?

Obvious now I think of it, quarries are an excellent topic for the AS coursework essay and the QuarryEd website provides some excellent resources.

To quote the homepage:

“Although perhaps unlikely at a first glance, the extractive industry can provide learning opportunities for students of A level biology, such as species adaptations to survive in particular environmental conditions, ecosystem dynamics, succession, the ecological impact of human activities and nature conservation management techniques.”

Lots of downloadable information sheets.
