Coastal deposition landforms, Beaches, spits and tombolos

(2)
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. This 1-2 HOUR resource investigates the features produced from coastal deposition. The lesson focuses on beaches, spits and tombolos. A copy and complete exercise is used to link wave energy to the deposition of beaches. Interactive slides are then used to show the link between longshore drift and spit formation. Two video links are provided to assist with this concept. A coasts game is included at the end as a plenary exercise.

Erosion landforms, Features of hard coastlines (Stacks, Headland & bays, wave cut platforms)

(0)
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. This 1-2 HOUR resource investigates the erosion features of hard coastlines. The lesson focuses on headland and bays, stacks and wave for platforms, as well factors effecting erosion rates. Interactive slides are used to holistically teach these aspects and handwriting frames are provided for less able students. Erosion processes are recapped throughout a game activity at the start of the lesson.
Coastal deposition

Coastal deposition

(0)
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. In this short lesson, pupils look at prompt images and try to think of reasons why the sediment has been deposited. A simple experiment is then used to highlight how energy influences deposition.

Coastal transportation, Longshore drift, Coastal processes

(0)
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. This 1 HOUR resource teaches pupils the processes of coastal transportation. The lesson investigates how sediment is transported according to size by, traction, saltation, suspension and solution. Longshore drift is also overviewed in a video and interactive slide from which the students can make well annotated diagrams.
Mass movement, Coastal processes, Holbeck Hotel Mystery

Mass movement, Coastal processes, Holbeck Hotel Mystery

(0)
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. The lesson teaches pupils how to describe a mass movement event. The students investigate why the Holbeck Hotel fell into the sea through a flow diagram exercise. A mix and match activity is used to classify the types of mass movement events on both hard and soft coastlines. Several practice exam questions and their respective mark-schemes are attached for homework activities.

Constructive and destructive waves, Weathering and erosion, Coastal processes

(0)
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. This 1 HOUR resource looks at the difference between constructive and destructive waves and investigate how they shape the coastline. The processes of weathering are over-viewed, as well as how the waves erode the coast through abrasion, solution attrition and hydraulic action.

Geographyguru88Geographyguru88

Effects of global warming, Global and UK impacts of global warming

(1)
This resource relates to the AQA specification for GCSE (UK) exams from 2018 onwards. This TWO HOUR resource investigates the social, economic and environmental impacts of global warming. There are both global and UK examples included. Images are used as stimulus to deliver pupil led learning.

Tectonic hazards

3 Resources
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.
