Ulladulla High School is hosting two after-school TESEP Professional Development Workshops on Thursday 15 May 2025, from 4 to 7.30pm on Plate Tectonics and Riding the Climte Rollercoaster.

Plate Tectonics: A guided journey through the rock cycle from intrusion to mineralised veins, volcano to sediment and everything inbetween. We will also show you how to the TESEP rock-kit and plate tectonics poster (see below), as well as all the online resources on the TESEP website. We will also dive into the Earth processes that drive plate tectonics. This PD also explains how the theory of Plate Tectonics was developed and how this relatively new paradigm not only explains why the Earth is so dynamic but also how it can be used to reconstruct the past appearance of the planet, predict the most likely locations of mineral and hydrocarbon deposits and explain the distribution patterns of fossil and extant animals and plants. Integrated with plate tectonics poster. Relevant to Year 8.

Riding the Climate Rollercoaster: This PD looks back over the last 4.6 billion years to find the drivers of climate change throughout geological time and discusses the impact climate fluctuations have had in the past as revealed by the rock record. This PD also examines the additional impact human activity is thought to have and the geological evidence for it and provides guidance on how teachers and students can access raw data to evaluate the results for themselves. Relevant to Years 9 to 12.
