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.

This is a revision summary sheet for Paper 1 of the AQA 8035 geography specification. It includes an overview of what a natural hazard is and a summary of why hazard risk varies. It also includes a section on tectonic hazards, which includes: distribution plate tectonic theory plate margins It does not include earthquakes or volcano formation in detail, or named examples of tectonic hazards or how to reduce the risk of tectonic hazards. Perfect for quick revision and to summarise key information.

Lesson plans aimed at year 6 children (can be adapted to suit younger KS2 children) on Natural Disasters/Hazards. This unit of work was created to support children’s understanding of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Hurricanes. Many activities are hands on and have cross curricular themes running through them. Children will be able to act out a hurricane talk show, create a volcano from basic materials, design posters and information pages for staying safe, and engage in group and whole class activities. There are 5 lesson plans within this, as well as the accompanying activities needed. No ppt, smart or flipcharts attached. I hope this helps with your planning!

This lesson is designed to last for 1 hour and is resourced with videos, extension questioning, deep thinking and uses graphs/images to aid learning. This lesson follows the Cambridge KS4 curriculum and looks at the social, economic and environmental impacts of drought, flooding, volcanoes, earthquakes and tropical storms. This lesson is mostly focused on the negative impacts. This lesson includes a starter, lesson objective, plenary, exam question and various student led activities.

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.

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

LOs: To know the structure of the Earth. To understand plate tectonic theory of crustal evolution: tectonic plates; plate movement; gravitational sliding; ridge push, slab pull; convection currents and seafloor spreading. To understand magma plumes and their relationship to plate movement. Utilises maps to show plates and boundaries. Teaches 3 theories: Convection Currents. Slab Pull. Ridge Push. Students produce a fact sheet for the theories. Addresses Iceland and its changing landscape with tectonics.

LOs: To know the common characteristics of hazards. To understand the terms ‘risk’ and ‘vulnerability’. To be able to identify and understand factors influencing the perception of natural hazards. Address peoples perception of hazard risk and vulnerability. Uses Iceland as an example of tourism and economic benefits when addressing why people continue to live in these areas despite the risk.
