AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 1a. in this lesson we start with a photo starter of a pyroclastic flow where the pupils can design their own GCSE style question then answer. We then move on to look at interpreting photographs of natural hazards which is something we do more of later in the unit. We practice on the landslides in Burundi in 2015. We then look at when a natural event becomes a natural hazard. We progress to categorising various hazards to introduce the categories of hazards. We watch a short video clip on human interaction with natural hazards before the students complete a mind map using hexagons of the factors that increase hazard risk. We finish with a practice question with guidance should the students need it. In a nutshell, the lesson includes: Create a question starter Photo interpretation task Hazard categorising shaded grid task Video clip Factors mind map task GCSE practice question with writing frame. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

Complete lesson for Geography GCSE 9-1: The challenge of natural hazards (AQA 3.1.1 Section A), includes presentation, worksheets and lesson plan. This lesson is designed to introduce KS4 (year 10 - 11) students to the topic ‘The Challenge of Natural Hazards’. The lesson is suitable for all abilities, and should take around 1 hour to complete. Through a series of activities students build on their learning from KS3. Students explore the definition of a natural hazard and recap the various types of natural hazards (including both climatic and tectonic hazards - volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, droughts etc.). Students are also challenged to consider different factors which can affect the risk level of natural hazards., such as population growth, urbanisation, education and so on. By the end of this lesson students will be able to: ● define a natural hazard, ● name and describe a variety of natural hazards, and ● explain how different factors might increase or decrease the risk posed by the event of a natural hazard.

To learn about some of the most hazardous places on Earth Can you define the term ‘natural hazard’? Can you identify areas with different levels of hazard risk? Can you rank order hazards to identify the most hazardous areas

In this bundle of resources there is revision material including case studies for Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Floods, Super cyclones, tsunamis, landslides and The creating of the 6th mass extinction. This includes information on formation, affects, prediction, measuring and mitigation.

A full set of 8 lessons including: What is a hazard?, layers of the earth, plate boundaries, volcano and earthquake formation, hazard comparison and prepare, predict and protect. Also includes a full revision lesson and assessment complete with mark scheme.

Introductory lesson looking at what natural hazards are and how we categorise them. Map task looking at where in the world suffers the most from hazards. Collaborative task where students look at where in the world might be at risk from hazards.

This SOL looks at hazards. It focuses on tropical storms and then climate change.HIC and LIC tropical storms. It also looks into whether climate change is natural or human made. It includes several case studies including the Maldives, Mozambique and UK.

Define natural hazards, understand examples work in a group present the hazard that you have been allocated
