A rocky revolution: Can virtual 3D models transform the teaching of geology?

Futurum

Geological features — physical features of the Earth (e.g., Virtual 3D model — a three-dimensional representation of a feature that can be explored on a computer. The physical exercise and numerous distractions commonly cause students to tune out from the lesson. not in a classroom). But fieldwork is not for everyone.

They produce samples that reveal how an orebody is layered (its stratigraphy) and other aspects of its lithology and physical characteristics. Geology, maths, physics, chemistry and biology are all sciences that will be leading this research. My year 10 geography teacher taught us about plate tectonics, and that was it!

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. . • At secondary school, I was also interested in economics, mathematics and physics.
