This lesson is part of Mountain Environments, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS2 (Y4-6). First the presentation looks at features of a mountain climate including lower temperatures and increased rainfall. It then focuses in more detail on the climate of Mount Everest. There are two activities: Interpreting climate graphs In this activity students look at and answer questions about temperature graphs for both the summit and base camp of Mount Everest. It is differentiated two ways: Easier – Students answer questions about temperature graphs for Mount Everest (suitable for Year 4 and 5). Harder – Students answer questions about temperature graphs for Mount Everest (suitable for Year 6). Creating a climate graph in Excel In this ICT activity, students create their own climate graph, including temperature and rainfall, for the summit of Mount Everest using Microsoft Excel.

The activity challenges students to identify the key features of a mountain environment. It is differentiated three ways: Easier – Students identify 8 key features of mountains. Medium – Students identify 10 key features of mountains. Harder – Students label the key features of mountains in their exercise book. Extension – Students match mountain vocabulary to their definitions. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

This lesson is part of Mountain Environments, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS2 (Y4-6). First the presentation recaps the structure of the Earth and how its crust is split into tectonic plates. It then investigates the different ways tectonic plates can move and how two tectonic plates colliding can form fold mountains (e.g. the Himalayas). The differentiated activity challenges students to work out which tectonic plates formed different fold mountain ranges around the world. Easier – Students have to find one tectonic plate. Medium – Students have to find two tectonic plates. Harder – Students find the name of each mountain range and two tectonic plates. Extension – Students complete a cloze procedure paragraph about fold mountains. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

This is an upper intermediate (CEFR B2, IELTS 6.0) EFL Speaking class about mountains. Students begin the class by describing four pictures of mountains. A short discussion follows. Target language (summit, tree line, cliff, slope, valley, ridge) is introduced using photographs. Students then match the vocabulary to the meaning. Students will then brainstorm the different kinds of animals that live in the mountains. Six images are then shown, each showing a different animal (cougar, snow leopard, golden eagle, ibex, black bear, hare). Students then rank the most dangerous animal to the least dangerous. Finally, students give their opinions in an agree/disagree activity.

Planning and resources for Year 3. Can be adapted for other year groups. Meets Natioanl Curriculum objectives.

All over the world, in every kind of climate, majestic mountain ranges rise up as eternal guardians of nature’s beauty. Shaped over millions of years by the forces of tectonics and weather, these geological wonders not only define the landscapes they inhabit but also affect weather patterns and host unique ecosystems. Whether it’s towering peaks capped with everlasting snow or lush slopes descending into valleys, each mountain range has its own story of endurance, cultural significance, and ecological variety. This book is not about the tallest mountains (most of them are in the Himalayas anyway); it is about the biggest mountain ranges of the world. Each chapter is dedicated to one such mountain range, with plenty of interesting facts about them. At the end, there are some multiple choice questions to check your students’ undrstanding, and as usual the relevant answer key to the questions. Explore our world through teaching cool geography!

An interactive activity that begins with a powerpoint and ends with groups of children working on creating their own mountain effects out of materials. Warning, need to prepare in advance for the activity. (Materials used for fold mountains are paper, tissue paper and thicker more scratchy type material to reflect differences in the earth's surface). Resources needed are crispy chocolate slabs, icing in plastic bag, sand, material, balloon and paper.

This clear, detailed and visually-appealing resource offers a complete reference point for students revising knowledge relating to mountains, as a part of their study of physical geography. It contains comprehensive sections on: Overview; Diagram and Terminology; Notable Mountains; How Mountains are Formed; Important Facts; World’s Highest Mountains; UK’s Highest Mountains; Key Vocabulary. The organiser is designed to help children to learn the relevant physical geography knowledge from the KS2 Geography National Curriculum, however it can be adapted for other age groups if necessary. The resource is designed to be printed onto A3 or A4, and is provided as both a PDF and a Word version (so that you can edit if you want to). All images used are licensed for commercial use and are cited on a separate document (included).
