In this 2-3 hour KS3 lesson, pupils will learn about Africa’s diverse climate and physical environment. Students are introduced to the various biomes that exist across the African continent and learn how animals and plants adapt to the harsh conditions. Geographical skills are developed within the lesson as pupils analyse the climate graphs of four contrasting biomes. **Bundle and save!

Students first engage in an interactive task in which they must create their own food web using cards and other members of the class. Once the food chain has been ‘found’ they answer questions about their said chain. Pupils then reflect on the difference between a food chain and a food web. Students are taught how energy flows through a food web, before adding arrows to a example, representing predator pray relationships. In the final tasks the idea of interdependence is introduced. Here pupils are required to explain the impact of various changes to a food web. Workbook pintables are provided which follow the PowerPoint lesson. Multiple choice checking for understanding slides are included, as well as links and videos to allow pupils to secure their learning at home. Bundle and save!

Pupils start by identifying the major biomes of the world, using a supporting video, before considering factors that influence their distribution. Pupils then complete a fact file overviewing the characteristics of each major biome. Finally students learn how to identify these environments using climate graphs.

Pupils start the lesson by considering animals that reside in particular habitats, before reflecting on the wider components that link them together. Students are taught about producers and consumers and learn how to create their own food chain. Pupils should be able to identify key parts of food chains and have an appreciation of role that decomposers play. Workbook pintables are provided which follow the PowerPoint lesson.

Pupils start by analysing source images, trying to spot the adaptions. They then try to consider how this adaptation may benefit the species. Students then undertake a mix and match exercise matching the plant adaptation to its purpose. Animal adaptations are then investigated through a whole class discussion. Pupils then engage in a fun activity, in which they create their own rainforest species and present it to the class. Workbook pintables are provided which follow the PowerPoint lesson.

Students first describe the distribution of topical forests before undertaking a sensory activity to reflect on the jungle environment. Students later develop their numerical skills through a climate graph task, supporting pupils understanding of the rainforest climate. Pupils then learn to explain why equatorial areas exhibit these climatic conditions. The structure and features of the rainforest is finally taught through a fact file task. Follow up reflection questions are provided. Workbook pintables are provided which follow the PowerPoint lesson.
