This is a full scheme of work for Carbon that I have used for four years with great success. I have edited improved it during that time. It includes model answers that I have written and some fun tasks to motivate students.
The slides are stimulating and the lessons cover a variety of skills including interpretation of data and graphs.
There is a strong focus on exam question practise and knowledge retention.
The homework set for students will be based on revision for class quizzes (which you can run as a competition) and also longer written answers to exam questions based on content which the students have learned in previous lessons.
To support the students’ studies, I have referred to the Oxford Book 2 in these lessons. It would be useful to have a class set.
Otherwise, the powerpoints are self contained and can be taught by a teacher at any level of experience and to students of varied ability.
This resource fully covers the National Curriculum criteria for elements of Russia as well as many skills and location elements. The accompanying scheme of work for a full term maps out suggested lessons (or the accompanying lessons are available on TES). The assessment is directly related to the scheme of work and the KS3 assessment criteria stated on the scheme.
Bargain. Three schemes of work aimed for KS3 but can easily be adapted for KS4. Each scheme uses imaginative and creative teaching strategies and have assessments built in.

It includes model answers that I have written and various additional documents to supplement the lessons such as a homework booklet, practise exam questions, mark schemes, a knowledge organiser and a case study list, linked to the specification.
The slides are stimulating and the lessons cover a variety of skills including statistics. There is a strong focus on exam question practise and knowledge retention.
The homework set for students will be based on revision for class quizzes (which you can run as a competition) and also longer written answers to exam questions based on content which the students have learned in previous lessons.
To support the students’ studies, I have referred to the Oxford and Hodder text books in some of the lessons, where students can find additional notes. Overall, most of the powerpoints are self contained and can be taught by a teacher at any level of experience and to students of varied ability.

Lesson 4- Worst Case Scenario
Lesson 5,6- Impacts of Climate Change
