Students will be able asked to recap the layers of the Earth and their characteristics, then students will recap plate tectonic and locate the African plate, this will then quickly cover the 3 types of plate boundaries of constructive, destructive and conservative. Finally students will be asked to explain the formation of a rift valley and explain the two types of volcanoes that occur on these boundaries.

Physical Features of Africa - KS3 (Key Stage 3)

For KS3 geography, this bundle is great for Year 9 in their first term back at school. This helps to get students familiar again with physical geographical concepts of rivers, coasts, climate, sand dunes and plate tectonics. This bundle also contains a tutorial on GIS mapping for students to have a go mapping Africa to see its physical features. This bundle contains 7 lessons that are fully resourced, with powerpoints and worksheets. Throughout the series of lessons, students will firstly begin by using GIS to map the physical features of Africa and identify its location globally as well as its individual countries. Then students will go through the climate and misconceptions of Africa along with creating a climate graph and manipulating and using data. Next students will recap the water cycle, transportation and erosion to learn about Delta formation, specifically in the context of the Niger Delta. Then switching the plate tectonics students recap the theory and structure of the Earth before investigating shield and composite volcanoes as well as the African Rift Valley. Finally students learn about the formation of sand dunes and how they bring tourist opportunities as well as headlands, bays and spit formation along the African coastline. Lesson 1: Mapping Africa using GIS Lesson 2: Physical Features of Africa Lesson 3: The Climate of Africa Lesson 4: The Niger Delta Lesson 5: The East African Rift Valley Lesson 6: Sand Dunes at Sossusvlei Lesson 7: Coasts of Africa Students will gain a variety of skills such as data collection and manipulation along with creation of graphs and reading OS maps. This bundle contains fully resourced lessons along with worksheets.
