Geoscience educators in Australia may not be aware that the U.S. Geological Survey publishes a wide range of geoscience teaching resources on a dedicated web site education.usgs.gov.

The USGS is the largest public geoscience organisation in the world.  Their education web site provides teachers with links to lesson plans and a wide range of background materials and images, access to maps, videos and on-line lectures that are valuable resources in lesson development, most of which are available free of charge.
