Bring the water cycle to life with this engaging OCR A Level Geography lesson on Condensation, Clouds and Precipitation, designed for the Earth’s Life Support Systems topic. Students develop a secure understanding of ELR, DALR and SALR, adiabatic cooling, dew point, condensation and latent heat before applying their knowledge to lapse-rate graphs and atmospheric stability. Clear visual explanations guide students through absolute stability, absolute instability and conditional instability, before linking these processes to convectional, relief/orographic and frontal precipitation. The lesson includes retrieval practice, structured application activities, geographical diagrams, challenge tasks, a 6-mark exam-style question with model answer, and a comprehensive accompanying worksheet. A visually engaging, ready-to-teach resource that develops both essential subject knowledge and the analytical skills needed for A Level Geography.

This fully resourced OCR A Level Geography – Earth’s Life Support Systems lesson provides an engaging and accessible introduction to the importance of water and the global hydrological cycle. Students explore why liquid water is essential for life, the conditions that make Earth habitable, and the importance of water for flora, fauna and people before developing key A-level systems terminology including stores, flows/transfers, inputs, outputs and system boundaries. The lesson then develops understanding of the global hydrological cycle as a closed system and compares this with a drainage basin as an open system, including the roles of solar energy and gravity in driving water transfers. A range of structured student activities, explanation chains, challenge tasks, diagrams, retrieval questions and a 6-mark practice question with model answer are included to develop both geographical knowledge and exam technique. Ideal as an introductory lesson or early lesson in the OCR A Level Geography Earth’s Life Support Systems topic.

Andrew Marr - Mega Cities - Ep3 -Sustaining the City - Worksheet to support the BBC documentary ‘In this film, I’m going to be asking how our megacities can survive without having a colossal heart attack.

This engaging OCR A Level Geography lesson explores how the water and carbon cycles operate and interact within the Amazon tropical rainforest. Students develop a clear understanding of key stores and flows, including precipitation, interception, infiltration, evapotranspiration, photosynthesis, respiration and decomposition, before examining how the rainforest’s hot, wet climate and dense vegetation influence both systems. Carefully structured diagrams, climate-data interpretation, retrieval activities and systems-thinking tasks help students make the crucial connections between water availability, vegetation productivity and carbon storage. The lesson also introduces the impacts of drought and deforestation without overwhelming the core content, before building towards 6-mark exam practice. Designed to support the OCR Earth’s Life Support Systems topic, the resource includes a complementary student worksheet and teacher answers, making it ideal for classroom teaching, revision or independent study.

In a Horizon special, naturalist Sir David Attenborough investigates whether the world is heading for a population crisis. In his lengthy career, Sir David has watched the human population more than double from 2.5 billion in 1950 to nearly seven billion. He reflects on the profound effects of this rapid growth, both on humans and the environment. While much of the projected growth in human population is likely to come from the developing world, it is the lifestyle enjoyed by many in the West that has the most impact on the planet. Some experts claim that in the UK consumers use as much as two and a half times their fair share of Earth’s resources. Sir David examines whether it is the duty of individuals to commit not only to smaller families, but to change the way they live for the sake of humanity and planet Earth. 3 page resource Written in Publisher and formatted to A3 the resource can be saved as a PDF for A4 printing

Andrew Marr - Mega Cities - Ep1 - Living in the Cities - Worksheet to support the BBC documentary ‘For the first time in history, more people live in cities than the countryside. Across the globe, we have 21 cities with more than 10 million people, and these numbers are set to increase - busy, noisy, crowded megacities are the future. In a fascinating three-part series, Andrew Marr finds out how these heaving mega-metropolises feed, protect and move their citizens. In the first episode, Andrew looks at how people live in five of the world’s biggest megacities: London, one of the world’s oldest megacities; Dhaka, the world’s fastest-growing megacity; Tokyo, the largest megacity on Earth; Mexico City, one of the most dangerous cities in the world; and Shanghai, arguably the financial capital of the world.’ The worksheet is written to provide independent learning and enrichment opportunities through a variety data collection and analytical tasks.

BBC - Extinction - David Attenborough - Worksheet to support the BBC Documentary With a million species at risk of extinction, Sir David Attenborough explores how this crisis of biodiversity has consequences for us all, threatening food and water security, undermining our ability to control our climate and even putting us at greater risk of pandemic diseases. Extinction is now happening up to 100 times faster than the natural evolutionary rate, but the issue is about more than the loss of individual species. Everything in the natural world is connected in networks that support the whole of life on earth, including us, and we are losing many of the benefits that nature provides to us. The loss of insects is threatening the pollination of crops, while the loss of biodiversity in the soil also threatens plants growth. Plants underpin many of the things that we need, and yet one in four is now threatened with extinction. Last year, a UN report identified the key drivers of biodiversity loss, including overfishing, climate change and pollution. But the single biggest driver of biodiversity loss is the destruction of natural habitats. Seventy-five per cent of Earth’s land surface (where not covered by ice) has been changed by humans, much of it for agriculture, and as consumers we may unwittingly be contributing towards the loss of species through what we buy in the supermarket. Our destructive relationship with the natural world isn’t just putting the ecosystems that we rely on at risk. Human activities like the trade in animals and the destruction of habitats drive the emergence of diseases. Disease ecologists believe that if we continue on this pathway, this year’s pandemic will not be a one-off event.
