This lesson starts by identifying the characteristics of a volcano and how a volcano erupts. There are facts, photos, maps and diagrams about each types of volcano, these are categorised as basaltic, andesitic and rhyolitic. There are also details of other ways in which volcanoes can be categorised e.g. volcano explosivity scale (VEI). There is also a note taking sheet and a card sort to consolidate students knowledge of the different volcano types.
This lesson starts by giving the students to take lecture notes on El Niño and La Niña. Next they are introduced to the normal weather conditions in the Pacific before being given diagrams of the normal conditions and El Niño so they can spot the difference. Students are then introduced tot he characteristics of El Niño. After that they are introduced to the characteristics of La Niña. In order to develop their understanding the students are then required to produced their own annotated diagrams of El Niño and La Niña on a base map they are given. To further secure their understanding they undertake a discussion activity in pairs. To test their understanding students complete a summary table (answers provided). Next there is an examination questions for students to test their understanding (answer provided). Finally there is a whiteboard quiz. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
This booklet is designed to follow up work undertaken on a river field trip. It includes a range of skills based questions involving methods, site selection data presentation, analysis and conclusions. Each section includes a GCSE mark scheme to assess the students work. These resources can be adapted to be used with fieldwork activities undertaken at a range of locations.
This bundles contains the development of the theory of plate tectonics, evidence for plate tectonics and tectonic landforms. the landforms include ocean trenches, island arcs, rift valleys, mid ocean ridges, fold mountains, island chains and hotspots.
This lesson teaches students about India’s population policy, which aims to reduced the birth rate to below 3 children per women. I prefer to teach this to the one child policy as it is more factually based. It includes note taking sheets, modelled assessed paragraphs, mark schemes which can be adjusted.
This contains resources to help students to prepare for statistical questions in their examinations. There are information/revision sheets for each type of statistical test (Mann Whitney, T test, Chi squared and Spearman’s Rank). These include a definition, worked example and significance analysis. In addition there are formulas for mean, mode, median, range, upper quartile, lower quartile and interquartile range.There is also a worked example for upper quartile and standard deviation. Next, there is a card sort with definitions and examples. After that there are a number of opportunities to calculate upper quartile, lower quartile, inter quartile range, mean, mode, median and standard deviation, with answer slides included. At the end of the PowerPoint are the Student resources.
This resource includes a wide of data collection sheets which could be used with KS3 to A Level including beach profile, cost of coastal defences, evaluation of the effectiveness of defences, field sketching, groyne height measurements, wave information. They can easily be adapted to any location you are studying and incorporated into your own fieldwork booklet.
The lesson incorporates a range of activities. To start there is a short video clip from the day after the earthquake. Next are slides including maps and plate margin diagrams which can be explained to pupils prior to them completing a gap fill exercise, which explains how the earthquake occurred. After that are a selection of photos of the damage, which can be used for Q and A with the pupils, including a 2 minute video clip of people being rescued from the rubble. I have then included a link to the BBC panorama programme which includes information about the earthquake and explanation of why so many people died. A note taking sheet is included. Next is a fact classification activity, with information about both Syria and Turkey. Finally there is a homework task. All resources are included at the end of the lesson.
In this lesson pupils decide where to locate a new power station: Sellafield, Hinkley Point or Woodgate, Birmingham. They are given a variety of maps and data in order to do this. When they have decided they write a letter (using a writing frame) to the government justifying their choices. There is also a mark scheme to accompany this. At the end of the lesson it is revealed that Hinkley Point has been chosen by the government. the students are given a variety of information about the new power station to interpret as a homework task.
Includes rivers, coasts, urban and tourism fieldwork sheets and booklets for use from Key Stage 3 to GCSE. Booklets can easily be adapted for your study area.This bundles also contains follow up work booklets for river, coast and urban fieldwork incorporating a range of skills including methods, site choice data presentation, interquartile range, analysis and conclusions. Each section in the follow up booklet includes a GCSE mark scheme to assess the students work.All resources have been used successfully with students.
This booklet includes a wide range of fieldwork based on the Cumbrian coast, that can be adapted for use in any area. Fieldwork techniques include; beach profiles, groyne heights, field sketching, wave counts and defence analysis.
This bundle contains a series of lessons designed to teach OS map skills. It includes; symbols, distance, scale, direction, 4 figure grid references, 6 figure grid references, height, route planning. It also includes a map booklet to accompany the lessons and map extracts.
This fieldwork booklet is designed to link in with the People of the UK GCSE topic. It includes index of decay and environmental quality surveys, UK crime app statistics, accompanied by site descriptions. It also has a multi-cultural survey based in Leeds City Market. There is a survey about the buses, which is a sustainable transport strategies. All the survey sites are identified on the front cover. They have been chosen to allow students to study the CBD and financial district. This fieldwork booklet also links in with my other GCSE lessons based on Leeds
The lesson includes causes, effects, prevention, prediction and responses to the volcano. Firstly, the students are introduced to Mount Ontake and its tectonic setting. there is a gap fill activity for the students to complete, which forms an explanation of how the eruption occurred. Next there are two clips of the eruption occurring to build up a sense of place and an awareness of the size, scale and form of the eruption. Next is a series of photos of the eruption and a classification activity involving case study facts (answers included). This is followed by a series of clips and information about prediction, prevention and solutions. Finally there is a case study quiz to test the students knowledge of the facts. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
This lesson aims to revise the key geomorphic preocesses. Answer slides are included within the PowerPoint and all resources are at the end of the PowerPoint. Processes revised include marine/erosion, sub-aerial/weathering, mass movement, waves, wave refraction, sediment cells and LSD. resources included are definition revision cards, landform revision homework sheets. wave characteristic classification and mass movement interpretation.
This lesson has a card sort for the water and carbon cycles at the start to remind students how to classify the different parts of the cycle. After that students are introduced to negative feedback loops. there is an example, then students are required to develop two of their own. Next students are required to develop flow charts to explain the human impacts o the carbon and water cycles. An example for urbanisation has been included for them. the students should develop their own for framing and forestry. They can use the OCR textbook to help them to do this. Resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
This resource includes two fieldwork booklets that have been used for tourism fieldwork in Grasmere. the activities can be easily adjusted to suit any tourist honeypot. They include amongst other fieldwork traffic counts, physical and human attractions, car park surveys, environmental impact assessments
This lesson introduces animals that have adapted to their environment and then asks the students to apply the adaptation strategy to plants in the rainforest. they are given fact cards on epiphytes, trunks and bark, roots and leaves to take notes on. Finally there is a rainforest plant card sort which matches adaptations, with explanations and photos of plant features, to test the students understanding.
This lesson is a case study of the 2019 Australian bush fires. The lesson starts by recapping El Nino and explaining how this causes drought. There is an examination question and mark scheme and a gap fill exercise, which develops into a model answer for this question when complete. Next the students are introduced to the effects of drought in Australia via a YouTube clips and photographs of the 2019 bush fires. The students are given the task of classifying facts about the effects into social and environmental categories before using these and making links between them to construct PEE paragraphs. One paragraph has been completed for them and they are required to write two of their own. After that the students are given a table of adaptations. They have to classify these by scale before selecting the adaptation that they believe to be the most effective and justifying their choice. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.
In this lesson students will learn how to measure straight line distance and actual distance.
Firstly, the students will learn how to measure straight line distance using the map skills booklet and the Cambridge maps (I have enclosed a copy but you will need to enlarge them so 2cm =1km).
Next, there is a video and an explanation of how to measure straight line distances, accompanied by a series of Cambridge map questions.
After that there are two more scale questions, also included in the map skills booklet.
Answers to all activities are included in the PowerPoint.
