Complete Two-Part Changing Planet Unit - Frozen Planet & Blue Planet - KS3 Geography This fully resourced KS3 Geography unit explores our Changing Planet through two connected sections, taking students on a journey from the frozen polar regions to the world’s oceans. The unit is designed to run across two half-terms, with each section forming a complete sequence of lessons and finishing with its own revision materials and end-of-half-term assessment. Although each section can be taught separately, they have been designed to connect: students build their understanding of climate change, melting ice and polar environments before exploring how these changes affect the global ocean, coastlines and marine ecosystems. Lessons are clear, varied and visually engaging, combining geographical knowledge with data interpretation, decision-making, discussion, problem-solving and extended writing. The complete pack includes PowerPoints, ready-to-print worksheets, embedded videos, individual and collaborative activities, revision checklists, assessments and mark schemes. Section A: Frozen Planet Topics include: Changing Planet Introduction Warming World Climate Change Polar Worlds Polar Food Webs Animal Adaptations Melting Ice On Thin Ice Optional after half-term assessment: People of the Arctic & Land of No One Section B: Blue Planet Topics include: Blue Planet Rising Seas Coral Kingdoms Mangrove Guardians Plastic Ocean Protecting our Blue Plant Optional after half-term assessment: Poster on protecting our oceans The unit places a strong emphasis on connections. Students see how changes in the atmosphere affect the cryosphere and oceans, how melting land ice contributes to rising sea levels, how changing ocean conditions threaten ecosystems, and how actions by governments, communities, businesses and individuals can help protect vulnerable environments. Whether you’re a specialist or non-specialist, the unit is designed to be flexible and straightforward to teach, saving planning time without compromising on geographical depth or challenge. As a practising classroom teacher with nearly 25 years of experience, I only share resources I’ve used myself. All lessons have been tried and tested in the classroom. If you find this unit useful, feel free to browse my shop for a wide range of Geography resources. I keep my prices affordable and offer bundles across a variety of topics and key stages. A lot of care goes into creating these resources, so I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a review. Thank you for your support! First upload October 2026
