Teaching Resources

The Model-Evidence Link Diagrams Project has developed a set of teaching resources to support the teaching of controversial and/or complex Earth and space science topics. Pre-constructed MEL (pcMEL) teaching resources include those for climate change, earthquakes and fracking, wetlands use, and the formation of the moon. Build-a-MEL (baMEL) teaching resources include extreme weather, fossils and Earth's past, freshwater availability, and origins of the universe. pcMELs are also available for the baMEL topics.
