I created a practice paper with **all new questions ** for students to practice during the countdown to the exam. I used the specification and all past papers to work out what hasn’t come up yet. It includes areas of the most difficult parts of the specification. I also produced a mark scheme with ideas for answers.
Hazards, coasts and carbon and water cycle. Optional theme of coasts is included. No glaciers section.
Edexcel A Level Geography prediction paper, Paper 1, mark scheme included. Practice questions.
AQA A Level Geography 2024 Prediction Paper
Please note this only contains questions on: Water, Carbon, Coasts and Hazards topics.
I create these papers through taking the specification and colour coding what has come up before. I then look for patterns, what hasn’t come up, and tricky parts of the spec that they might sneak in. I teach AQA presently, have previously taught Eduqas, and I tutor Edexcel. This wide ranging knowledge of different exam boards gives me the ability to have a good grasp on the range and style of Geography A Level questions.
It’s just a prediction, so see what you think! At present there is no mark scheme as I wanted to get this up and out before the exam.
A bundle of all my coasts lessons prepared for the AQA specification, but still useful for other specifications.
Lesson titles in order are:
Types of Waves
Weathering and Mass Movement
Processes of Erosion and Transportation
Headlands and Bays
Wave Cut-Notches & Platforms, Stacks, Stumps and Arches
Longshore Drift and Deposition
Beaches and Sand Dunes
Spits and Bars
Coastal Landforms at Swanage
Hard Engineering
Soft Engineering
Managed Retreat

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at beaches and how their profiles can be altered and sand dune succession and formation…
We start with a simple retrieval practice grid which is good for spaced practice.
We then discuss why some beaches have different profiles to other beaches and what difference the size of sediment makes. We then look at the different types of waves and how they affect beach profiles. The pupils will make annotated diagrams of winter and summer beaches. We move onto sand dune systems. The pupils have an outline profile of sand dune succession. We use info slides which can either be teacher led, or use as a round the room activity, group activity etc, the pupils add the appropriate info onto the diagram from the slides. We then look at what conditions are needed for the dune system to form. The pupils have a hexagon task. I usually get the pupils to think about each factor first, the next slide has the answers but they still need to match them up
We finish with a GCSE-style question on the formation of sand dunes with some guidance on how to answer.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
Retrieval practice starter
Beach profile diagram activity
Sand dune succession annotated round the room/group diagram task.
Formation of sand dunes hexagon task.
4 mark GCSE-style question with guidance should the pupils need it.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at how coastal management has been undertaken at Lyme Regis in Dorset.
The lesson has a retrieval practice starter based around a field sketch of a coastline. We firstly introduce Lyme Regis as an example of coastal management and consider which interest groups may have concerns about the construction of new sea defences. The pupils complete a worksheet where they read through the four phases of coastal management, highlight examples of hard and soft engineering and answer some questions. They then complete a map skills activity where they label on where the coastal defences have been built using 6-figure grid references. We then look at the positive and negatives of coastal management in Lyme Regis. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at the different types of weathering and mass movement.
We start with a true or false retrieval practice quiz on wave types from the previous lesson.
We then introduce the concept of weathering and proceed to look at mechanical, biological and chemical weathering. The pupils have a variety of annotation, drawing and question tasks to complete on the worksheet.
Moving on to mass movement, the pupils get a second worksheet with 4 different slopes on. The pupils then are given information on each type of mass movement. They sketch the type of mass movement onto their slope and add labels. We finish with a simple GCSE-style question which I get the pupils to answer on a post-it note.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
True or False starter on wave types
Weathering activity sheet with diagrams and questions.
Mass movement ‘change the slope’ activity sheet.
Video clips where appropriate
GCSE-style question plenary

This lesson is part of The Seaside, a Geography unit designed for students in KS1 and lower KS2, but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson.
The presentation first explains the difference between human and physical geographical features. It then challenges students to identify a range of seaside features (e.g. cliffs, lighthouse, river mouth) and classify them as human or physical.
In the activity, students identify a range of seaside features and classify them as human or physical.
Easier - Students classify seaside features as human or physical.
Medium - Students label seaside features (with initial letter clues) and classify them as human or physical.
Harder - Students label seaside features (no clues) and classify them as human or physical.
Extension - Students unscramble sentences about the seaside.
