This resource will cover two lessons. Firstly, the students are reminded of what is meant by a contemporary challenge to a city. They are then given a note taking sheet with space to write 6 PEE paragraphs. Next they are then given a series of facts about the challenges if housing availability focusing on both rich and poor residents of the city. Students should select two facts and add then to the Point Evidence column. Next show the students the Kevin McCloud Slumming it programme. This will help them to develop a much more sophisticated sense of place, develop empathy with the residents and a greater understanding of the challenges of living in a slum. In the next lesson students are given information about the challenges of waste management and transport provision, accompanied by photos and clips. They should use these to complete the Point Evidence column. They are then given a sheet with text boxes containing explanatory comments. They are asked to classify these into transport provision, housing accessibility and waste management. Answers provided. After that the students should use these to complete the explanation column, using two connectives for each explanation. They are then required to evaluate which challenge has the biggest impact. Finally, there is an opportunity to go over how to plan an answer to an 8 mark question and use a mark scheme to assess their answers. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

In this lesson the students will start by being introduced to the problem of water supply in Ethiopia. The students will learn about charity: water - an aid project through a series of clips and photos. Next they will undertake a story telling activity to learn about the aid project through the eyes of 3 characters. They are each given a character and key questions to listen out for the answers to. They are given a note taking sheet. After reading the story once there are comprehension / discussion questions for the students to undertake. Next they are read the story again. After that they get into groups of the same character to ensure they have all the notes from the story. They then get into groups of different characters to share information. After that they take part in an opinion line activity to assess the success of charity:water. This will help them to develop their conclusion writing skills. All resources are included.

Firstly, the students are shown a pie chart of employment structure in Ethiopia. They are asked to classify Ethiopia as either and LIDC or EDC. Next they are shown a diagram of Rostow’s development model and asked to identify which stage Ethiopia is in. This sets the scene for Ethiopia becoming a suitable host country for TNCs. Next the students are given a globalisation glossary most of these terms will be familiar and this activity will act as revision. The students are introduced to what a TNC is and asked to guess what the 10 biggest TNCs are. After that they are given info on some TNCs in Ethiopia and reasons why TNCs locate there and are asked to match the reasons to the company. More than one reason may apply. Next they are asked to classify the advantages and disadvantages of TNCs to Ethiopia. To finish are a selection of 4 mark examination questions about international investment. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson is designed to get students thinking about the solutions to the trade deficit that occurs in Ethiopia. Essentially you are trying to get them to think about how to turn primary goods into manufactured goods in order to improve the balance of trade but the students need to discover this for themselves. Start by explaining how rich countries have a trade surplus and poor countries have a trade deficit. Then explain the impact of supply and demand of product prices. Next the students are asked to consider primary goods that could be produced in Africa and to classify them into either limited supply or plentiful supply e.g. diamonds = limited, coffee = plentiful. Next show the students a map showing major mineral exports from a variety of African counties and outline the problems of relying on trading these products. Next get the students in groups of 3-4 to find a map of Ethiopia in their atlases and give them a data sheet with Ethiopian data and UK data for comparison. Also give out a spider diagram sheet with key questions. Students need to consider the changes they would make to improve the balance of trade in Ethiopia and record them on the key question sheet e.g. improving infrastructure, overcoming problems of being land locked, war with Eritrea, drought. The teacher will need to circulate and prompt students and answer questions. At the end select some students to feedback their plans. Finally outline other problems that will also impact on improving the balance of trade. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This is the second in a series of lessons available as a bundle. The lesson starts with a quiz recalling the characteristics of biomes and their climate. Next there is a youtube clip, which can be paused and used as Q and A to encourage the students to grasp more firmly what each biome looks like. Students are then asked to identify the biomes from photos, before matching images of biomes flora to each biome. Finally there is a sample examination question with mark scheme. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint presentation.

In this lesson the students are introduced to hydrograph features and types of hydrograph. They will discuss and explain these. Students will then be introduced to the impact of geology, relief and temperature on the water cycle and are required to explain these in relation to maps and diagrams. Students will be asked to identify the impact of an individual tree on the water cycle in the rainforest. There is an opportunity to plan a 10 mark exam question as well as a model answer being provided. Finally, there is another examination question and mark scheme for the pupils to plan an answer to or answer fully. This lesson is part of a series of lesson and can be purchased as a bundle.

In this lesson students will start by recalling the threats to coral from the previous coral threats lesson. There is a speaking frame for them to explain these fully and a copy of the note taking resources. Next the students will be introduced to the Soufriere Marine Management Area and will identify features of this using a sketch map. After that the students will be read an extract about the management area, how it was set up, what the different parts are, how it is sustainable and its advantages and disadvantages. The first time they hear they extract they should draw what they hear, making sketches and using numbers and symbols to focus on important information. The second time they hear it they add written notes. Pupils should then get into small groups of 3-4 and compare notes, adding any missing details. There is an examination question for them to tackle with a mark scheme to stick in their books including ebi and www comments. Finally there is a quiz to test the students recall of the facts. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

Firstly, the students are introduced to the key terminology relating to water extraction. Next, students will comprehend a newspaper article to evaluate the impacts of water extraction from the aquifer surrounding Beijing. After that the students will study surface extraction on the Tigris and Euphrates and convert this information into a mind map. T consolidate students are given an examination question and asked to produce presentations on one element of the question, using the case studies. The students can then answer the question for homework or in class. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

The lesson starts by asking the students to recall and classify the inputs, outputs, processes and stores of the carbon cycle. Next the students are asked to produce a diagram of the carbon cycle and then to adjust it to reflect the carbon cycle in the Arctic Tundra. After that students are given specific information on the changes and asked to annotate these onto a new diagram of the carbon cycle. Finally the students are asked to compare the carbon cycle in the rainforest to the tundra, including specific information.

Firstly, students are introduced via photos to the causes of permafrost melting in the Tundra. Next the students are given 4-5 impacts and asked to undertake research into these impacts, specifically focusing on the Prudhoe Bay. They are required to explain these, using factual information and then to annotate their findings onto a diagram. Finally, students are asked to evaluate whether the impacts of melting permafrost have a bigger impact on the water or carbon cycle, justifying their explanation.

This lesson starts with an opportunity to revise ecosystems. Students are tested on climate data, photographs and ecosystems and food webs associated with different ecosystems. Next the students are introduced to the Polar, Ferrel and Haley cells, their discovery and characteristics. Next students should take notes on the weather associated with high and low pressure. After that the students are given climate graphs from around the globe and by looking at the rainfall data are asked to decided if there is high or low pressure. They then use their atlases to find out the latitude, which they label on a globe (answers provided). Finally, they are introduced to the weather between 30oN and S of the equator around the ITCZ and are asked to describe and then explain the weather that occurs (answers provided). All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson was designed for the new A2 syllabus. It asks students to recall the water cycle from GCSE and add more sophisticated terms required at A level. It includes a glossary with answers and diagrams of the water cycle. The pupils are then required to classify parts of the cycle into inputs, outputs, processes and flows (answers included). They can follow up this with a classification card sort activity, with answers. All resources / hand-outs are included within the lesson PowerPoint.

This lesson is designed to be used with the new A2 syllabus. This lesson includes: Why water is important in supporting life on our planet. The use of water by flora, fauna and people.
