This 2-3 hour lesson teaches pupils about the location and characteristics of tropical forests. 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. Multiple choice checking for understanding slides are included, as well as links and videos to allow pupils to secure their learning at home.

Pupils reflect on the global demand for products and services and realise that many products are sourced from countries overseas. An understanding of global trade is developed, as pupils learn about producers and consumers.
Changes to employment structure in the UK helps pupils to understand why many countries are now interdependent, promoting globalisation through world trade patterns. Graph skills are developed within this part of the unit.
Pupils are then introduced to the concept of globalisation and consider how their knowledge wealth of global products, people and services has developed. The main causes of globalisation are considered pertaining to trade patterns, and transport / communication technology.
The impacts of the various types of globalisation on economic activity, cultures and environment is highlighted through case study examples.
The growth of apple as a TNC is investigated, highlighting the reasons and benefits of multinational operation. The unit delves deeper into the electronics industry, highlighting the impacts of primary and secondary industry in the Congo and China, respectively. Pupils evaluate the impacts of operations on the local people and environment.

In this 2 hour KS3 lesson, pupils explore why plastic moves through the open ocean to accumulate in ‘garbage patches’. Pupils consider the sources of ocean plastic and reflect on why so much plastic ends up in the ocean. Pupils are expected to produce a short piece of descripting writing, detailing the horrors of ocean garbage patches. Pupils develop their understanding of ocean currents through a heads and tails worksheet, proving support for weaker pupils. Students then label the main ocean gyres on a world map, before completing a comprehension exercise, where they must explain why the Indian ocean lacks an dense accumulation of marine plastic pollution. The lesson includes numerous worksheet activities and supporting video links.

This 2 hour KS3 lesson teaches pupils about approaches that reduce ocean plastic pollution. Students learn how the 6r’s (refuse, recycle, redesign, repair, reduce and reuse) help to make our use plastic more sustainable. Pupils explore the benefits of a circular economy, compared to recycling or linear economies. Students are required to provide examples for each of the 6r’s, before engaging in a silent debate, in which they evaluate the effectiveness of a wide range of potential solutions.

This 1-2 hour KS3 resource investigates the effectiveness of fair trade at reducing the development gap. Pupils undertake a role play exercise, in which they take on the roles of different employees within the banana trade chain. Participants have to argue why they feel they deserve a particular proportion of the bananas cost. Students then watch a video and consider how fair trade can help improve the quality of life for people growing bananas in Africa?
This 1 hour KS3 resource investigates the Sahara desert as a hostile environment. Pupils start by identifying patterns in the distribution of hot deserts, before considering their conditions. Students develop Geographical skills, using climate data to produce climate graphs. The atmospheric circulation model is used to help pupils understand why desert environments have such hot dry weather. A diamond 9 exercise is used to help pupils evaluate the challenges faced in desert environments.
