AQA A Level Hazards Full SOW

AQA A-Level Geography - Hazards - Complete Scheme of Work - 26 Lessons + 4 Student Workbooks - AQA 7037/1

This is the complete, ready-to-teach scheme of work for AQA A-Level Geography Hazards (specification 3.1.5). Every lesson, every specification point, both required case studies, four matched student workbooks, a two-version scheme of work document and a mark scheme for every exam question are all included.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Hazards is the topic where out-of-date examples cost marks. This bundle is built around events from the last few years, all researched and checked against authoritative sources, so your students write about hazards that examiners know are current:

La Palma eruption, 2021 - Cumbre Vieja, lava flows, evacuation and recovery in a high-income setting
Turkiye-Syria earthquakes, 2023 - one event, two very different outcomes, and why governance mattered
Cyclone Idai, 2019 and Hurricane Ian, 2022 - a direct comparison of storm impacts at different levels of development
Black Summer, Australia 2019-20 - the record fire season, with a 2025 Los Angeles city-edge contrast
The Philippines - the multi-hazardous environment case study, covering volcanoes, earthquakes, typhoons and landslides
Grindavik, Iceland 2023-25 - the local-scale case study, a town evacuated with eruptions on its doorstep.

Recent events are also used throughout as illustrative examples, including the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai eruption of 2022 and the 2023 Morocco earthquake. Every example is dated, so students learn to write with precision.

Like the rest of the series, this bundle was built from the exam outwards - starting with AQA mark schemes, examiner reports and past papers, then constructing lessons that teach students exactly what the exam rewards. Real Hazards questions from A-level papers from 2020 to 2024 and AS papers from 2020, 2023 and 2024 appear throughout, each labelled with its series and question number. AQA figures are never reproduced; instead every lesson tells you exactly which insert or question paper page to print.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

26 PowerPoint lesson decks, each designed for a 90-minute double period with a built-in timing guide for splitting across two 50 or 60-minute lessons. Every lesson opens with a starter that recaps the previous lesson, followed by learning objectives, structured content input, classroom activities, support and stretch boxes, colour-coded exam tip strips, exam practice with revealable mark schemes, and an exit ticket. Activities include card sorts, mini whiteboard questions, simple classroom demonstrations, data analysis, model-answer highlighting and timed essay practice. Lessons use real photographs and satellite images, all credited.

4 matched student workbooks in Word format, print-ready and fully editable. Each workbook follows the lessons with key terms boxes, writing frames for student who nee a bit more support, challenge tasks and extra reading for the most able, structured activities
