Resources 6: Russia & Europe: Exporting Energy (KS3)

This is a 1 hour KS3 lesson that investigates Russia's vast wealth of oil and gas and European countries’ dependency on it. The lesson is the fifth lesson of a unit on natural resources and energy, though it could easily be adapted to other themes or used as a standalone lesson on the country itself. It is also included in a 3 part bundle on Russia.

Learning Outcome 1 – ‘I understand that Russia has great stores of oil and gas, making it a wealthy and powerful country.

Learning Outcome 2 - 'I understand how Russia has recently gained an important role as an ‘energy superpower’, which influences its relationships with other countries.'

This lesson covers the following themes:

- Flow maps (reading and making)
- Energy security & dependency
- Russia
- Oil & Gas

Ease of use is the aim, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with full instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes labelled, organised, challenge / extension handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read.

These resources take me hours to pull together so please leave a review if they’ve helped you out in the classroom :)

Happy teaching!
