Geology students at Solihull Sixth Form College have been making use of a fantastic local resource by visiting the Lapworth Museum of Geology at the University of Birmingham.
A group of Year 12 A level Geology learners went on the fieldtrip to investigate the glacial erratic boulders and attend a lunchtime seminar. The seminar was delivered by Matt Sutton from the University of Oxford and explored ecosystem changes associated with climate change in the Atlantic Ocean over the last 200 thousand years.
Humanities Curriculum Leader Dr Karen Greaves commented:
“Our young people thoroughly enjoyed visiting Lapworth Museum, which is a fascinating place, full of fantastic artefacts and knowledgeable staff. The seminar gave our learners access that most visitors do not get, so it was a real privilege and they learned a lot. It will be a big boost to their A level studies.”
