With the sand on the sill collaborative IGEO project we achieve three things:
(1) We develop and provide a teaching tool that relies on resources that are available all over the world, namely a coloured sandgrain.
(2) Teachers enhance their students thinking skills by using it in their classroom.
(3) Teachers can use it as a tool to evaluate the geo-thinking skills of their students and one day might even be able compare the students level of “geo-thinking” of their class with the level of “geo-thinking abilities of other students all over the world.

How do we want improve geoscience education through informal education?
You are working in informal education? You are welcome to join this group. We are waiting for you.

How do we want to improve geoscience education through research?
So far we have been founding two action groups in order to conduct cooperative IGEO research:
1. Sand on the Sill cooperative IGEO reserach (Coodinator: Prof. Dr. Chris King, Keele Univerity, GB)
2. Cooperative research on alternaive conceptions about plate tectonics (Coordinator: Dr. Domik Conrad, University Bayreuth, Germany).
How do we identify best practice in geoscience education?
This action group will work in two steps:
(1) First of all we will summerize the characteristics of best practice in geoscience education. The list will be presented the IGEO community, discussed and improved. The result will be published here.
(2) We will then research for teaching resources and evaluate them using IGEOs list of characteristics. The ones that meet IGEOs aims will be published or linked to under the chapter “teaching resources”.
