AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how development can be measured. There is a short multiple choice retrieval practice starter. We begin by looking at the difference between standard of living and quality of life. After this the students complete an activity matching the descriptions of the development indicators up with the pictures and colour coding them into social and economic indicators. The students then create a paragraph detailing why some indicators may not be reliable, but use the pictures to work out what the missing words might be. We then look at HDI and what is is made up of. The students complete a quick activity on matching the pictures to the benefits of using HDI as a development indicator. A short game of HDI higher or lower follows which is a fun way to spark debate and consolidate learning. We then tackle a 4-mark GCSE-style question with some suggested points to use on the next slide so the students can correct/feedback on their answer. hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at what development means and what the development gap is. We also look at the patterns of development globally and the reasons for uneven development. There is an Ordnance Survey-themed retrieval practice starter included. We begin by looking at how development can be measured and comapre HDI with GNI using a table and the students summarise the information and determine which they think is the better measurement. We look at the global patterns of HDI and the students have a map with a variety of questions around the outside for them to answer. Then we examine how countries are classified into LIC’s, NEE’s and HIC’s, the students subsequently try to determine which countries belong in which categories. After completing the definition of the development gap, the students then complete an activity where they consider the factors that affect the level of development of a country. The students categorise these factors into social (historical), environmental, political and economic categories. The next slide has some picture clues and anagrams for the students to work out what the factors are. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question. There is a writing frame for structure and guidance on points to use. hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B.

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Development of the Model of the Atom for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics / Chemistry. Exam Spec: This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Combined Science 6.4.1.3, Physics 4.4.1.3, and Chemistry: 4.1.1.3. As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing (or just delete those bits if you don’t). Learning objectives: Describe how new experimental evidence may lead to a scientific model being changed or completely replaced. Describe how our model of the atom has changed over time because of: The discovery of the electron. The alpha scattering experiment. The discoveries of energy levels, protons and neutrons. Describe the alpha scattering experiment, and the new evidence it produced. Explain why the evidence from the alpha scattering experiment changed the model of the atom. Describe the plum pudding model of the atom and why it changed. Describe the differences between the plum pudding model and the nuclear model of the atom. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at the Demographic Transition Model. There is a multiple choice retrieval practice starter before we look at what the term ‘demographic transition’ means. The students have some sentence fragments to put in order. We then look at some key terminology that is needed for the lesson and the students match the description up to the term. We then look at the model itself an the students have a large A3 sheet to draw the model onto the template. The model is explained in stages and students make notes as they go along, drawing the three lines on too. There is a living graph activity to do when they have finished, by reading the statements in the boxes, they then have to work out which stage it applies to. We then look at examples of countries in the various stages of transition and the students create a diagram titled ‘The Road to Development’. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question. There is a writing frame for structure and guidance on points to use. hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

This resource focuses on analysis of ‘Shoulders’ by Naomi Shihab Nye. I walk them through how I would approach the question from planning, to the first paragraph. It is a scaffolded approach for mid to high ability. I give an AQA band 5 paragraph - thoughtful and considered - and ask them how this would be developed further. The final slide is a totally unseen poem - ‘For Heidi With Blue Hair’ with a given question. This is designed for them to test out the skills without scaffolded support. Good for Year 11 revision of unseen and tips before the exam. Also good in early stages of unseen work to build good habits.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how population pyramids can reveal changing population structures and levels of development. There is a literacy starter based on the content learned so far in the unit. We begin with an introductory video on population pyramids and the students have a question sheet to answer whilst they watch the video. Using the information they have gleaned from the video they then annotate two contrasting population pyramids to consolidate how the graphs can reveal a great deal about a country’s level of development. We briefly look at dependency rations and the students have a go at calculating a simple example ratio. We then construct a population pyramid for Nigeria using a worksheet and the students can then consider what it reveals about the country. The students then examine an ageing population but looking at Japan’s changing population structure and the students complete a task looking at the factors that have contributed top this. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question using the population pyramids they annotated earlier. There is a writing frame for structure and guidance on points to use. . hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how foreign investment (FDI) and industrial development can help to close the development gap. We start with a short task where students look into the different types of investments that can be made by foreign entities and TNC’s. Students use images to help complete a short paragraph. We then look at the reasons why TNC’s might choose to locate in an NEE or LIC and the students create a mind map. The students then create a diagram of the multiplier effect, annotating it by filling in the blanks on the slide. We then briefly look at the positive and drawbacks of TNC’s investing in countries, using Shell Oil as an example. We then use a map of investments in Africa, the students use an atlas to plot where the investments have been made. We then look at Chinese investment in Africa and the students complete a pictogram worksheet highlighting their reaction to the statements and recording why they reacted the way they did. We then look at Malaysia and industrial development. The students look at some development indicators, plot the economic sectors on a pie chart and then we briefly look at the drawbacks of the growth of the palm oil industry there . We then tackle a 9-mark GCSE-style question and the pupils use a writing frame and some point and evidence suggestions to help answer the question if needed. hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer
