There is also a mark scheme and a quiz with answers.

This includes two lessons, the first involves students researching the different volcanic hazards including lava, gas, pyroclastic flow, tsunami, landslides, lahars and tephra. there is also a plate margin Venn diagram to use as a starter to test student’s knowledge of each plate margin. In the next lesson pupils will present their findings to the rest of the class. there is a PowerPoint presentation including photos and diagrams of the hazards to support if student research is not quite detailed enough.

This lesson develops the pupils understanding of how headlands and bays are formed on concordant and discordant geology coastlines. It then goes onto coves and geos. There is a mark scheme to assess the pupils At the end there is a Swanage Map quiz with answers.

This lesson is designed to teach the students about the different types of aid and to identify the advantages and disadvantages of different types of aid. To start the students are asked to consider where aid is needed at the moment and what type of aid they have given recently. Next there is a video clip introducing the different types of aid. After that they are given definitions of the main types of aid including multi-lateral aid, bilateral aid and voluntary aid. They are then asked to classify the advantages and disadvantages of this aid. Next, there is a recall quiz to test the students understanding of these terms. After that the class is split into groups of four. Each group is given a disaster card, aid costs sheet and aid package sheet. The students are asked to identify which aid is needed in the immediate, short and long term. They are then asked to refine their ideas to fit a budget of 700 units. You can also dish out chance cards to groups, which may benefit or disadvantage their aid package. Some groups can share their aid package plans with the class. The plenary is a cartoon interpretation activity. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

In this lesson students are introduced to a range of strategies to manage the carbon cycle. these include afforestation, wetland restoration, improving agricultural practices, the Kyoto protocol and the Paris agreement. Students work in groups with flip chart paper or on computer to design a presentation to teach each other about their management strategy. Information about each strategy can be found on slides at the end of the PowerPoint presentation. the students are reminded of some dos and don’t when giving speeches. There is a note taking sheet for pupils to complete and a 3 step guide on how to complete it. Also included is a gap fill paragraph about carbon trading by REDD+ in the Amazon. Further info on this scheme is included in a lesson as part of the Amazon case study: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/a-level-case-study-of-a-rainforest-impacts-of-management-on-water-and-carbon-cycles-11694328. After that the students are required to evaluate the schemes and decide which 2 schemes would have the biggest impact on the global carbon cycle and why. All resources are included within the PowerPoint

Firstly, there is a gap fill activity to remind the students about the greenhouse effect. After that the students are given copies of the carbon and the water cycles and are asked if global warning will increase or decrease the processes within the cycles. Next the students are given diagrammatic information about the effects of climate change on the water cycle. the students are required to translate this information into an annotated water cycle diagram. The students repeat this for the carbon cycle, except this time the information is in a written format. Resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

The lesson introduces students to reading and giving 4 figure grid references. Firstly, the pupils are introduced to giving and reading four figure grid references, with examples to work through included on the PowerPoint and in the map skills booklet. On slide 15 there is a grid of different symbols, which can be used to test the pupils understanding using white boards. Next there is a 40 question grid reference quiz, with answers linked to the Cambridge OS map. I have included a copy of the map. I enlarged these to 2cm = 1km and made laminated set to use with the class. I have also included a pacman template which I use to help the pupils with their 4 and six figure grid references. The quiz is also in the map skills booklet. Finally there are two more extension quizzes relating to the Cambridge map.

In the lesson Students will recap 4 figure grid references before being introduced to giving and reading 6 figure grid references. There are map quizzes (with answers) based on Lyme Regis (Miss Reynolds’ crazy day) and Cambridge maps . There are a number of other maps skills quizzes and answers included in this PowerPoint which will allow you to fill two or more lessons these include: Santa’s day out - River Wye Maps Map skills quiz - Nant Francon & Wastwater / West Cumbria Maps Map skills revision Avery Hill maps All tasks are included in the map skills booklet and all maps are included but will need enlarging so 2cm = 1km.

This lesson allows pupils to develop their understanding of headland and bays formation. It incorporates photos, geology maps and writing frames. There is a mark scheme for students to peer / self assess their answers. the plenary is a Swanage OS map quiz with answers.

In this lesson pupils will become a character. During a story telling activity they will answer a specific question linked to 3 sustainable transport schemes in Leeds. They will then share their answers in scrambled groups. An exam question and plan is included along with a mark scheme. The plenary is a case study fact quiz. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This is a partially completed booklet for students to fully complete themselves from their notes. They can then used these condensed notes and revise from these. I get the pupils to complete these throughout the course so by the end they have already made their revision notes.

This includes two lessons. In the first lesson students will research into strategies implemented to reduce the impact of the oil and gas industry on the water and carbon cycles. The second will involve students giving presentations, with PowerPoint presentations and information sheets. The students are split into six groups, each with a strategy such as insulated ice and gravel pads. They split up the three tasks (presentation, speech and information sheet) within their group and are given information about what to research and how they will be marked. All resources for students to use for note taking are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson starts by testing the student’s knowledge of the location of major cities in the UK. It then introduces the concept of core and periphery. Pupils then have to apply this to explain the patterns on two UK maps. Next, the students research 4 causes of uneven development (infrastructure, economic change, government policy and geographical location), using information sheets incorporated into the PowerPoint. The lesson also incorporates an examination question and mark scheme. The plenary is an opinion line about the impact of government policy on addressing uneven development through the creation of a Northern Powerhouse.

This booklet is designed to follow up work undertaken on a coasts field trip. It includes a range of skills based questions involving methods, data presentation and analysis. Each section includes a GCSE mark scheme to assess the student’s work. These resources can be adapted to be used with fieldwork activities undertaken at a range of locations.

This lesson contains a worked example followed by a series of exercises where the students can practice and apply their knowledge. Included within the PowerPoint are worksheets for the students to fill in and a full set of answers, including worked calculations. I have also included two questions featuring dispersion diagrams to calculate interquartile range. I designed these to be used either as homework tasks or as an introductory lesson / skill practice lesson. They are also designed to encourage the students to memorise the formulae as these will not be included in the exam papers even at GCSE level.
