AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 2C: Water Management section.
This lesson requires the AQA GCSE Oxford textbook
In this lesson the pupils look at the Lesotho Highland Water Project. The pupil’s using the textbook complete a number of tasks to become familiar with the example such as constructing a climate graph, describing places, finding the meaning of facts and figures, creating a map, defining key words, categorising impacts. The sheets need printing out on A3 paper ideally.
We then tackle a question on large-scale water transfer schemes. The pupils have guidance should they need it on how to answer the question and can use their sheet to help them.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

Leeds South Bank is one of Europe’s largest regeneration projects, covering 253 hectares of land. 8,000 additional homes are being provided and over 35,000 jobs created by 2028. A massive £500m regeneration initiative has been approved to double the size of the Leeds city centre by redeveloping this ex-industrial area south of the River Aire. With this record level of investment secured, it will be the biggest change the city has seen in more than a hundred years.
This lesson provides reasons for the regeneration and then outlines the key features of the scheme. It includes a range of good quality pictures and there is an accompanying 13 minute video.
This project can be used in both Science and Geography. This consists of approximately 6 lessons dependent on the ability of the group. This booklet has learning outcomes for each lesson and has a range of different activities to keep all students engaged and interested. Also, this includes extension material for any high fliers that finish the work early.
Any comments would be appreciated.
This is a standalone lesson focused on the Willow Project. It was taught at the end of a KS3 Climate Change unit and incorporated due to high levels of student interest / inquisition about the issue.
The lesson includes:
Background information/ context about the Willow Project
Embedded TikTok videos (used as they are informative and engaging short clips on a platform relevant to the students)
Positive / Negative, S.E.E Impact activity with accompanying Stretch and Challenge Extension task.
Diamond 9 impact assessment task.
QR codes linked to two petitions
Campaigning for Change creative option task where students can either choose to create a protest poster about the project or write a letter to the government explaining their view on the project. Both activities supported with success criteria.
A concluding, positive video from David Attenborough about how we are powerful enough to change the world for the better.
I hope that your students enjoy this lesson and that this can save you some valuable planning time. If you do use this with your students, I’d love to be tagged in your posts to see what you create!

This is a new resource for KS3 that can be adapted, expanded or used as it. It is a 6 page resource that can take 2-3 lessons or even as a homework task.
It includes questions about the governance, laws, location, flag, national holidays etc. It is a great way to engage students to think about how they perceive geography and politics.
READY TO TEACH - FAVELA IMPROVEMENTS: THE FAVELA BAIRRO PROJECT.
Begin the lesson by referring pupils to the syllabus of which the lesson is based on: An example of how urban planning is improving the quality of life for the urban poor.
Show images of favelas in Brazil (slide 3), lead a discussion with pupils regarding the way in which favelas can be improved (expect pupils to refer to electricity connections, access to clean, safe drinking water, disposal of waste and sanitation. Pupils are required to complete a card sort, placing the most important factors at the top of the diamond ranking exercise for how life for residents in Rochina can be improved (slide 4). Show pupils an example of the self-help scheme, explain the purpose and benefits of the scheme (slide 5).
Pupils answer the question with reference to page 162 of the AQA textbooks (or alternatively slide 7). A model answer is provided on slide 8. An extension task is set on slide 9, for pupils to answer questions 1, 2 and 3 on page 163 (answers provided on slide 9).
Conclude the lesson by watching the clip that discusses the life of Rochina residents. Pupils can reflect on which one single change would provide an enhanced quality of life for residents living in favelas (slide 11).
This project is a great addition to your habitats or ecosystems unit. It can be used as a supplemental learning resource or as an alternative assessment. It includes 8 vibrantly colored biome posters in addition to the cube biome pages. Detailed step-by-step assembly instructions are also provided.
This resource includes eight different biomes. When assembled, each 3-D biome cube contains four biomes. It is at the teacher’s discretion to make this an individual or group project, and whether students pick the biomes they want to work on or if they are assigned. The biome pictures contain enough details to show students the main features of each, while leaving room to draw in additional plants and animals to demonstrate an understanding of each biome. On the front of each cube side, students write a description of the biome as well as listing plants and animals found there and the locations where the biome exists. And, these finished resources will look great when displayed in your classroom!
The following biomes are included:
★ Rainforest Biome
★ Grassland Biome
★ Marine Biome
★ Desert Biome
★ Freshwater Biome
★ Tundra Biome
★ Deciduous Forest Biome
★ Taiga Biome (Boreal Forest)
Four biomes go on each “cube.” They actually form triangular prisms, but I’m counting the air inside each where kids can add pop-up animals, modeling clay, etc. so I call them cubes. :)
Enjoy!

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification, Unit 2c. The lesson starts with a retrieval practice quiz from the unit. We then locate where the Wakel Basin in Rajasthan is. The pupils then annotate a photograph to explore the issues are around the supply of water to the region. We then look at the Wakel River Basin Project. The pupils use a sheet to read the extract and complete the questions on the project, then they create diagrams and pictures of the water harvesting methods and the pats scheme. We finish with a GCSE-style question with some guidance on how to answer.
In a nutshell the lesson includes:
Retrieval practice starter
Map and photo annotation tasks
Work sheet with questions and diagrams to draw
GCSE style question with a writing frame if needed.
Hope this helps save you valuable planning time.
