AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at types of hard engineering and where they are best applied. The starter is a quiz where the pupils need to select the squares that have a depositional landform. There are sound effects too so it’s all very exciting. We begin by looking at why certain areas of the coast need protecting and what factors go into consideration when planners are deciding whether or not to protect the coastline. The pupils are then given some information cards and a worksheet to fill in on the different types of hard engineering, they also have a visual scale to shade in for each one according to it’s effectiveness and durability, cost and sustainability. This can be done in a number of ways (group work, round the room, carousel etc). We then seek to apply this knowledge though the pupils completing a decision making exercise. This is based on a fictional town (Sandytown). The town has been divided into zones, the pupils read the information on each zone and decide what type fo hard engineering that zone needs and justify this. We finish with a 6 mark question on hard engineering with some guidance on how they can answer this. In a nutshell lesson includes: Interactive starter quiz on depositional landforms. Video clip. Hard engineering worksheet with visual scale. Decision making exercise activity. 6-mark GCSE-style question with guidance should the pupils need it. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at types of soft engineering and look at an example where they have been applied. We also use the lesson as an opportunity to practice some map skills. The starter is a simple retrieval practice grid based on the coasts unit of work. We begin by locating Crow Point which is an area in North Devon at risk from coastal erosion where soft engineering strategies have been used to prevent further erosion to the fragile dune system. The pupils will be given a large A3 sheet of paper with an outline map of the area including the dune system. The pupils then use grid references to add labels and features onto their map. Once they have completed this we look at the different types of soft engineering strategies and the advantages and disadvantages. The pupils are given grid references to the location these strategies have been applied. They locate them on their map and write the details in the appropriate box. We do this four all four strategies. This could be done as an info gather, round the room, carousel etc. We finish with a 4 mark question comparing hard and soft engineering with some guidance on how they can answer this. In a nutshell lesson includes: Retrieval practice starter Map skills practice Soft engineering information gather task 4-mark GCSE-style question with guidance should the pupils need it. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

If you use this resource please let me know what you think! Print these slides off in colour and spread them around the room, students can then collect information from the sheet about the different genetically engineered organisms. I think this is a good activity to illustrate the wide variety of ways that organisms can be genetically engineered.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the 2016 specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at soft engineering methods of flood management. We start with a retrieval practice grid game based around the work we have undertaken in the rivers unit of work so far. The students then complete a cloze exercise to create a definition of what soft engineering is. The students then investigate flood warnings as issued by the Environment Agency and preparations by completing a guided reading exercise. We then look at three soft engineering strategies in turn: River restoration, flood plain zoning and afforestation. For each method, the students write a description, sort out the advantages and disadvantages and complete a task involving a diagram. There is a short video task on rover restoration. We finish with a 6-mark GCSE style question and there is some guidance for students who need it on how to answer it. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at hard engineering methods of flood management. We start with a retrieval practice grid game based around the processes and landforms of erosion. The students then complete a cloze exercise to create a definition of what hard engineering is. We briefly introduce soft engineering, then the students have a blank diagram of a drainage basin which has undergone both hard and soft engineering strategies to reduce flooding. The students have to annotate the diagram and work out which is hard and soft engineering. The students are then given some information cards and have to record details on four methods of hard engineering:- dams and reservoirs, flood relief channels, embankments and channel straightening. The students record the advantages and disadvantages and complete a rating exercise for various factors. We finish with a 9-mark GCSE style question and there is some guidance for students who need it on how to answer it. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

This presentation covers the different types of soft engineering that are used to minimise the impact of flooding in the UK. It covers washlands and river monitoring, education and floodplain zoning. There is a group work/GIS exercise in this presentation and a feature that I have called ‘Fieldwork Focus’ in which students are encouraged to consider why Uttoxeter might be vulnerable to flooding and what they recommend is done about it. The presentation features some striking images and straightforward tasks and questions, too.
