This 1 hour lesson teaches pupils about the location and characteristics of the worlds desert environments. Pupils initially shade the major deserts of the world onto a template map, before later considering why deserts form in these locations. Source images are used to stimulate discussion regarding desert features. Pupils then analyse and create climate graphs to further explore these hostile environments.

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.
