This is a carousel activity consisting of 7 activities that can be put together in a booklet and answer sheets for each activity. At each of the 7 stations place a question sheet and the answer sheet for the previous station. Pupils should spend 5 minutes at each station then go on to the next station and mark and grade their work. Repeat for next 6 stations. this tasks gets pupils to identify precisely gaps in their knowledge and puts the onus on the students during revision, rather than the teacher.

This lesson starts by encouraging the students to estimate the UKs current energy use. Following this are a series of discussion questions for the pupils to tackle. Next the students are introduced to why our use of gas and nuclear energy will increase. The next activity is to draw a proportional map to show where our gas supplies come from. this will develop both knowledge and skills.

There are the two symbol / image cards one containing advantages and another disadvantages, both incorporating factual information. A PEE paragraph is modelled and then students are asked to produce their own. The next activity is a decision making activity using OS maps to choose where a wind farm should be located. the plenary consists of an examination question, with a mark scheme.

This lesson builds up the students knowledge of beach features using diagrams and photos. It also ensures that they understand the processes operating to change to shape of the beach. Towards the end of the lesson there is an examination question on the location of beach features, with structured plans for answering this question.

This resource is deigned to revise plate margins and the land forms associated with them. Included in resource are the following topics: Plate margin card sort Plate tectonics theory Type of plate margin Tectonic land form carousel Exam questions Plate margin characteristics In addition the following skills are used: Classifying information Recall and speaking Recalling information and diagrams Recall and discussion Planning answers, recall and PEE paragraphs Recall and classification At the end of the resources are student booklets. The first page of the booklet acts as a plenary for students to evaluate their progress in the lesson and to identify what and how to revise next. The resource is easily editable for your own case studies.

Many students get to the point of revising, sit down and don’t know what to do next. These worksheets include a range of tasks which cover a wide variety of topics. The idea behind them is that when the students sit down to revise they don’t have to think of tasks, just select one from the list. They should focus on testing themselves e.g. look, cover, write, check. I encourage my students to start with an easy task so they feel that they are making progress, followed by a difficult task.
