This lesson is designed for KS2 children. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of two wider units, both of which are available on TES: -Earthquakes -Volcanoes & Earthquakes First the presentation looks at how the Earth’s crust is split into tectonic plates. It then examines the causes of earthquakes, how they occur at the fault lines between tectonic plates and what the hypocentre and epicentre of an earthquake are. There are three different activities to choose from which can be done in Geography and/or Literacy lessons. These include: Quiz Activity Students watch a video clip about earthquakes and answer comprehension questions about it. This is differentiated two ways. Cloze Procedure Activity Students fill in the blanks in an explanation text about earthquakes. This is differentiated two ways. Writing Activity Student write an explanation text about earthquakes. This is differentiated three ways and comes with vocabulary and sentence starter prompts. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unti 1A: The Challenge of Natural Hazards. there is a retrieval practice starter grid which will just need filling out by the teacher with appropriate questions. Pupils begin by looking at the location of earthquakes and volcanoes by plotting their location on a map using longitude and latitude. Pupils then describe the pattern using T.E.A (trend, examples, anomaly). We then look at the plates and margins. The pupils use description of the plates locations to work out where they are then descriptions of their movements to draw on arrows of the plates direction of travel. We examine the link between the locations and plate margins and briefly explain the anomalies by looking at hotspot volcanoes. We then tackle a GCSE-style question with guidance for the pupils if needed. In a nutshell lesson includes: Retrieval practice starter Longitude and latitude skills task plotting tectonic hazards Map task using descriptions of plate locations and movements Hotspot diagram drawing GCSE-style question with guidance. Hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

Geography: How do Humans Live with Earthquakes? (Edexcel B, Tectonics, Hazardous) This Unit follows the Edexcel B syllabus but has been design to be part of a three year GCSE course. As a result this could be delivered at both KS3 and KS4. This unit is created in line with my personal passion for tectonic hazards in the developing world. This Unit is my favorite to deliver and has been streamlined over the last two years. This SoW work has been differentiated, with with both support and challenge throughout. Retrieval Practice and Duel Coding Theory are incorporated and as well as regular links to other parts of the syllabus, this is in line to my recent academic readings. Geographical and numeracy skill have been planned for. Happy to answer questions and any feedback welcome… thegeographyshoporiginal@gmail.com SoW: L1: What is the structure of the earth? L2: How do earthquakes form? L3: How do Earthquakes effect humans? L4: What made the China, 2008 earthquake so devastating? L5: Designing an earthquake proof building L6: How do tsunamis form?

Year 7 Science lesson, could be adapted to use with other year groups Students work in groups, each group is researching a different type of plate boundary (conservative, constructive, destructive, collision). They then move around the room and teach other groups about what they have learnt. Focus if the Nepal Earthquake, and students use their learning from the lesson to explain what plate boundary there is in Nepal and why the Earthquake occurred.
