This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The lesson is part of the ‘The changing economic world’ module. The scheme will require approximately 11 hours of teaching time. This series of lessons investigates how development is measured. The effectiveness of the various development indicators are scrutinised, in order to gain an accurate insight into the true development of a country. The demographic transition model is studied to show how and why populations change, as a country develops. Students are then taught to relate these ideas to population pyramids, and learn to interpret the shapes of population structures. The scheme analyses why some areas of the world struggle to develop, while others prosper. Finally, the effect of this uneven development is considered.
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The lesson is part of the ‘The changing economic world’ module. At the start of this lesson powerful cartoon images are used stimulate discussion. An interactive true or false statement exercise is used to overview the extent of the problem. Pupils are taught how to gain full marks on skill based graph questions. Model answers and tips are also provided. A card sort exercise is used to highlight the different health issues experience in HIC’s compared to LIC’s. Finally pupils have a deeper look into malaria as a disease of poverty.
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The lesson is part of the ‘Urban issues and challenges’ module. This 1 hour lesson investigates the concept of urbanisation. The lesson compares the growth of towns and cities in HIC’s and LIC’s. Pupils learn how to analyse a range of graph and table data sets, in an attempt to improve exam technique in skill based source questions.
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The lesson is part of the ‘Urban issues and challenges’ module. This lesson is a great as an introductuary overview of Rio as a city. Pupils start by locating the metropolis. The students then create a fast fact mind map from the classes current knowledge, video and source sheets provided. The growth of the city is then briefly discussed, before the pupils learn about the structure of Rio through a memory game exercise.
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The lesson is part of the ‘Urban issues and challenges’ module. This lesson starts by considering why people are drawn to urban areas in Brazil. Students will come to realise that it is the shear volume of migrants, that creates the limitations on the services they expect when they arrive! A card sort task is used to investigate the problems of health, power, water and education across the city. The solutions to these issues are also discussed in depth.
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The lesson is part of the ‘Urban issues and challenges’ module. In this lesson students learn about the challenges faced within Rocinha, Brazils largest favela. Pupils first gain an insight into life within a squatter settlement through a group task. The location of these dwellings is investigated and the students are taught why these communities develop where they do. The main challenges found within shanty towns are considered and pupils must annotate their favela diagram with the ideas discussed. The final activity requires individuals to sort a range of challenges into various categories.
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The lesson is part of the ‘The changing economic world’ module. This 3 HOUR lesson investigates how the growth of tourism in an LIC can help to
reduce the development gap. The material focus on both Kenyan safaris and beach resorts. The advantages and disadvantages of tourism are scrutinised. A fun kinesthetic exercise is used to teach pupils about tourism activities in these two different environments. Pupils then learn about potential solutions to the problems tourism brings. They are then tested in an extended exam style question, for which a writing frame is provided. An optional link to a 1 hour investigation into mass tourism in Kenya is also included, to help with pupil understanding.
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The package constitutes part of the ‘The changing economic world’ module. The bundle includes a detailed and engaging power point for each of the lessons, as well as supporting videos, activities and worksheets. Instructional footnotes on how to deliver each lesson are provided, as well as factual information to assist staff. This medium term scheme can be delivered in approximately four weeks of teaching, in which most lessons take two hours to deliver. The growth and land use within Rio de Janeiro as a city is over-viewed in a introductuary lesson. The social, economic and environmental opportunities and challenges are then detailed. The package finally teaches pupils: why favelas have grown, the challenges they present and how authorities have attempted to improve them.
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. This 2 hour lesson investigates what an earthquake is, as well as how they are measured and recorded. A map task used for pupils to reflect on where earthquakes occur. A flow diagram task is included on the causes of earthquakes as well as interactive slides of how seismometers work. A student led role play task is used to teach the Richter scale and card sort task for the Mercalli scale. Additional homework task included.
This end of unit exam tests students ability to: use compass directions, interpret map symbols and height, use four and six figure grid references, record latitude and longitude values and measure distances using a scale bar.
This 7 WEEK full scheme of work provides all the teaching and learning materials needed, to deliver the AQA tectonic hazards specification for exams from 2018 onwards. This high quality package starts with an insight into natural hazards and hazard risk. The scheme then investigate the structure of the Earth and plate tectonics, to provide the required background knowledge. The location of both earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to plate boundaries is covered; as well as the physical processes taking place at constructive, conservative, destructive and collision boundaries. Case studies of earthquakes in two counties of contrasting levels of development is included, to show both primary and secondary effects, as well as short and long term responses. Pupils are later taught why people continue to live near these hazards despite the risks, and consider how monitoring, prediction and protection can mitigate their effects.
This test assesses students understanding of both renewable and non renewable energies. The pupils are also asked questions on the causes, effects and management of global warming. The resource includes differentiated question papers as well as a mark scheme and revision homework sheet.
