This is the first lesson in Mountain Environments, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS2 (Y4-6). First the presentation introduces students to the topic and looks at some of the activities people do in mountains. It then introduces the key features of a mountain range. 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 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.

Slideshow about mountain types, including dome, plateau, fold and block mountains. Includes adaptable activities. Large font and dyslexia-friendly. 14 slides.

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!

Use this resource to help pupils discover locations of UK mountain ranges. It is differentiated in to two levels for higher and lower ability pupils. The resource comes with the lesson outlined on powerpoint, with word worksheet files all ready to print out and use with your class. It was initally designed for a Year 7 class but could equally be used right down to KS1. There are two main exercises in this lesson. Activity 1. - A collaborative group exercise where the pupils organise a UK map of mountain ranges and decide between the group, the appropriate labels and heights. This is a great exercise to visualise the mountains, and not merely view them on a map without any understanding of the vegetation or relief of the land. Activity 2. This activity consists of differentiated worksheets with and extension task and some higher order thinking questions that provide enough extension for pupils. The whole lesson comes with a Powerpoint to guide you and the class through the lesson.

A collection of photos from my own visits to mountains around the world. I have used these photos with my class for projects and presentations about glaciation, mountain environment, habitats, adaptation, weather and climate, and plate tectonics.

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.

This booklet looks at polar, desert and mountainous regions, their climates, how plants and animals adapt to them and how people survive them

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.
