A question and answer worksheet (with follow on sheet) to support A Perfect Planet - Volcanoes (BBC Documentary). The programme looks at how without volcanoes, there would be no life on Earth. Although destructive, magma from the planet’s molten core builds land, and mineral-rich ash from eruptions fertilises the surface. The worksheet has 20 questions that cover the full 50 minute documentary. To support staff a teacher answer sheet is included. There is a differentiated worksheet for students to reflect on their learning after they watch the documentary. Worksheet includes the following topics: Volcanoes Advantages and disadvantages of volcanic environments Ecosystem Benefits and risks of habitats Variety of land ecosystems Animal adaptation Climate change For worksheets to support other science and nature documentaries please see my shop.

Geography: Why are Volcanoes so Hazardous? (Edexcel B, Tectonics) This Unit follows the Edexcel B syllabus but has been design to be part of a three year GCSE course. As a result this could be delivered at both KS3 and KS4. This unit is created in line with my personal passion for tectonic hazards in the developing world. This Unit is my favorite to deliver and has been streamlined over the last two years. This SoW work has been differentiated, with with both support and challenge throughout. Retrieval Practice and Duel Coding Theory are incorporated and as well as regular links to other parts of the syllabus, this is in line to my recent academic readings. Geographical and numeracy skill have been planned for. Happy to answer questions and any feedback welcome… jacobspong@gmail.com SoW: L1: How do volcanoes form? L2: Why do people live near volcanoes? L3: What threats are presented by volcanoes? L4: How can humans respond to their threat? L5: How do developed countries respond to volcanoes? L6: Case Study Yellowstone Super Volcano.

I hope you find this SoW useful. If you have, I have created a series of resources, one for each unit of the Edexcel B Geography course, as well as many KS3 units, all to the same standard.

This lesson is designed to last for 50-60 minutes and is resourced with videos, extension questioning, deep thinking and uses graphs/images to aid learning. This lesson follows the Oxford KS3 curriculum and looks at firstly the structure of a volcano where students will be required to label a drawing with the magma chamber, volcanic bombs, vents and others. Students will then move on to the two types of volcanoes; shield and composite. They will be required to identify features and then engage in a sorting task. Finally, students will look and both positive and negative impacts of volcanoes. This lesson includes a starter, lesson objective, plenary and various student led activities. If you liked this resource please check out my other resources at https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SimpleGeography

Success criteria: To identify the key features of a volcano. To make a comparison between shield and stratovolcanoes. To explain why these volcanoes are different.

This lesson is designed for KS2 students. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of two wider units, both of which are available on TES: -Volcanoes -Volcanoes & Earthquakes First the presentation introduces some of the world’s most famous volcanoes and classes them as active, dormant or extinct. The activity then challenges students to locate volcanoes using an atlas or the internet (e.g. Google maps). Alternatively, a map of famous world volcanoes is also provided. Easier – Students locate volcanoes using the map of famous volcanoes (writing numbers). Medium – Students locate volcanoes using the map of famous volcanoes (writing volcano names). Harder – Students locate volcanoes using an atlas. (N.B. It is recommended you check the atlas has the relevant maps prior doing the activity.) If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review! We will happily send you a free resource in return for a review or useful suggestions/feedback. Contact us at ed@teachitforward.co.uk.

This is a factsheet/poster packed full of information about Volcanoes. It can be stuck into topic books at the beginning of the topic, displayed (in A3) in your classroom, used for research purposes or even for comprehension activities. PLEASE NOTE: The misalignment in the 2nd preview (the Word version) is not a reflection of how it looks, but a TES issue with generating previews. National Curriculum objectives covered: Describe and understand key aspects of: Physical geography, including: climate zones, biomes and vegetation belts, rivers, mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, and the water cycle Rainforests Fact Sheet/Poster Romans In Britain Fact Sheet/Poster

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

A short and sweet round-up of the 6 types of volcanoes; with images.

This workbook and case sudies is designed to meet the majority of the requirements of the AQA Geography Entry Level - I think just the case study is missing. The tasks are short and designed for pupils with limited attention span and lower than age expected reading skills. Some of the work has been adapted from other worksheets available on TES to fit the spec and learning outcomes of Entry Level.

This collection of activity sheets first considers how a volcano is formed, labelling the parts of a volcano and focusing on tier 3 technical vocabulary. (I did this after showing a powerpoint on volcanoes as well as some video clips of volcanoes erupting/timelapse lava flow). Then locate some major volcanoes around the world using the given map and accompanying sheet (alongside ipads/laptops for internet use and atlases with world maps/maps of continents). NB: The first 6 minutes 45 seconds of the BBC programme ‘Africa with Ade Adepitan’ is fantastic for that wow factor and introducing the idea of volcanoes around the world. It even includes a scene showing where volcanic rock has burst through the walls of someone’s house! Tip: Mount Etna is in Sicily, but Sicily is an autonomous region of Italy.

This worksheet covers the basics behind a volcano, namely covering its main components and key definitions. Volcano, Components, Magma Chamber, Lava, Magma

Sample Excerpt: Introduction (The stage is set with a large cardboard volcano at the back, decorated with red and orange lava cutouts. Children stand in a semi-circle, some holding props like globes, rocks, and volcano pictures. Child 1 and Child 2 step forward to speak.) Child 1: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our class assembly! Child 2: Today, we’re taking you on an explosive adventure into the world of volcanoes! (Children 3 and 4 step forward, one holding a globe and the other pointing to a map.) Child 3: Volcanoes are amazing natural features that can be found all around the world. Child 4: Some are quiet, while others erupt with fiery lava and ash. But how do they work? Child 5 (stepping forward): We’ll learn all about the science of volcanoes, famous eruptions, and what they mean for people and our planet. Child 6 (raising a hand dramatically): Let’s get ready to rumble! (Class cheers and makes rumbling sounds, shaking their hands as if an earthquake is happening.) Perfect for school events, this script makes learning about the past an exciting adventure!

Made for KS3 however could also be used at KS2 as the main task is well differentiated.
