End of Unit Assessment- The Challenge of Natural Hazards AQA 9-1

(0)
This is a 33 mark end of unit assessment on the topic of ‘The Challenge of Natural Hazards’. There are questions on Climate Change, UK Extreme Weather, Tropical Storms and Tectonic Hazards. The Paper 1 GCSE exam, ‘Living with the Physical Environment’ will test this topic in 33 marks, hence the length of the test. I have also written a detailed mark scheme using a similar format to AQA, so this can be used in departments or with students to grade and analyse the assessments.
GCSE AQA Paper 1 Revision: Physical

GCSE AQA Paper 1 Revision: Physical

(0)
This is a revision lesson I’ve created to revise the 3 topics: The Challenge of Natural Hazards, The Living World and Physical Landscapes of the UK. It is tailored towards the sub-topics that we have selected as a school, which are ‘Tropical Rainforests’ and ‘Hot Deserts’ in the Living World topic and ‘Coasts’ and ‘Rivers’ in the Physical Landscapes of the UK topic. The lesson is designed to be delivered in 1 hour, with a starter which recaps a little from each topic, and then 3 packs of tasks which are split up on different tables. Students will have 15 minutes to complete the activities in each pack, before a plenary to discuss how prepared they are for their exam. The packs contain a range of tasks including exam questions, marking exam questions, card sorts with key words and exploring photographs they have been given. All of the resources are hidden slides in the powerpoint. Please note, this lesson follows the same format at the ‘GCSE AQA Paper 2 Revision: Human’ lesson. The tasks are different, but you may be interested in purchasing this lesson if you find ‘GCSE AQA Paper 1 Revision: Physical’ works well.

This is a revision lesson I’ve created to revise the 3 topics: Urban Issues and Challenges, The Changing Economic World and The Challenge of Resource Management. It is tailored towards the sub-topic that we have selected as a school, which is ‘Water’, rather than Food, or Energy. The lesson is designed to be delivered in 1 hour, with a starter which recaps a little from each topic, and then 3 packs of tasks which are split up on different tables. Students will have 15 minutes to complete the activities in each pack, before a plenary to discuss how prepared they are for their exam.

Carbon Cycle Revision- Critical Thinking

(0)
This lesson encourages to evaluate example questions and answers to examine what enabled them to get higher or lower levels. They will work in groups to discuss example answers and rather than simply marking them, will be asked questions such as, ‘What is required for level 2 analysis?’. There are practice questions for pupils to work through, after group discussion.
Summer School- Continents of the World: 2 Lessons (Human and Physical)

Summer School- Continents of the World: 2 Lessons (Human and Physical)

(0)
This is a powerpoint which was originally used as 2 summer school sessions for years 5&6. It would be fine for KS2-3 between years 5 & 8, but ideally as an introduction to continents. The first session allows pupils to use the information sheets provided to decorate a continent with physical features (such as waterfalls, mountains, forests etc.). The second session looks at how humans live across the different continents of the world and asks pupils to focus on one area and create a person from that country and then create a display where the people are labelled onto the physical geography world map. The continent maps are to be printed on A3. If possible, try and print the Asia continent larger so it fits better, but I know this isn’t always possible- I did mine all on A3. The 2 sessions are based on allowing 1 hour for each, but between 1 hour and an hour and a half for each session should work well. I also photocopied some pages to go with the handouts. A favourite book of mine is ‘Children Just Like Me’ by Unicef. Unfortunately I can’t scan these in for copyright reasons, but there’s loads of information in the handouts. These are just really an added bonus.
Growth and Development of Shenzhen

Growth and Development of Shenzhen

(0)
A lesson designed to be used with year 8, although I have used the resources with sixth form before to help them understand economic development with a detailed case study! The lesson focuses on the city of Shenzhen in China and looks at rapid population and economic growth. Pupils will create a storyboard to show why the city has grown so rapidly. There is also a video interview with a farmer to show his perceptions of how the city has developed.

How Developed is India?

This lesson is currently used towards the end of year 7, but would be equally useful for any KS3 group, or as an introduction at GCSE. Pupils will be asked at the start of the lesson to justify whether or not they think that India is developed. During the lesson, a card sort will help pupils to create a map showing the development of different regions of India. At the end of the lesson, pupils are asked to look back at their answer to the question of how developed India is and see explain whether or not they’ve changed their mind. There is a second bellwork included in the powerpoint incase you don’t get through it all in one lesson. This lesson follows the same format as my, ‘How Developed is China?’ lesson
