AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this lesson we look at what extreme weather is, what type of extreme weather the UK experiences and whether the UK may experience more in the future.
The lesson has a retrieval practice starter where the pupils choose the places or the circumstances where tropical storms can be found. We then look at the definition of extreme weather. The students complete a map exercise which helps to explain why the UK’s geographical location allows a variety of extreme weather to be experienced. The students then complete a spider diagram on the types of extreme weather, there are some video clips and information slides to help with this which could be a carousel activity. We then complete a map exercise where the students use an atlas to locate where the extreme weather impacted and evaluate how severe the weather event was. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

Start your nursery day the right way! This resource provides a complete set of high-quality visuals designed to create an engaging, child-friendly “Welcome Board” for your early years classroom.
These are the exact, tried-and-tested visuals we use in our own nursery setting to establish a calm morning routine, help children understand their day, and introduce early concepts of time and the world around them.
What’s Included?
This comprehensive download gives you everything you need to set up your daily board:
Visual Timetable Cards: A selection of clear, easy-to-understand visual cards covering the key parts of a typical nursery day (e.g., registration, snack time, outdoor play, story time, home time).
Days of the Week:Bright and clear labels to help introduce the days of the week and the concept of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Weather Visuals:Engaging weather icons so your children can look out the window and become “weather watchers” each morning!
Why use a Visual Welcome Board in the Early Years?
Establishes Routine & Security: Knowing “what is happening now” and “what is happening next” significantly reduces anxiety for young children, especially those struggling with separation during morning drop-offs.
Develops Independence:Visual timetables empower children to independently check the routine, rather than constantly asking adults what is coming next.
Supports Early Learning: Discussing the weather and the days of the week during your morning carpet time is a fantastic, contextual way to introduce early understanding of the world, sequencing, and time.
Fully Inclusive: Just like communication boards, visual timetables are essential for supporting children with SEND, EAL, and speech and language needs, ensuring everyone understands the structure of the day.
How to Use:
Simply print, laminate, and attach Velcro dots to the back. Create a dedicated “Welcome” display at child-height where you can update the day, weather, and routine together during your morning registration!

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at the different types of weathering and mass movement.
We start with a true or false retrieval practice quiz on wave types from the previous lesson.
We then introduce the concept of weathering and proceed to look at mechanical, biological and chemical weathering. The pupils have a variety of annotation, drawing and question tasks to complete on the worksheet.
Moving on to mass movement, the pupils get a second worksheet with 4 different slopes on. The pupils then are given information on each type of mass movement. They sketch the type of mass movement onto their slope and add labels. We finish with a simple GCSE-style question which I get the pupils to answer on a post-it note.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
True or False starter on wave types
Weathering activity sheet with diagrams and questions.
Mass movement ‘change the slope’ activity sheet.
Video clips where appropriate
GCSE-style question plenary
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

This resource is part of Exploring Australia, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS1 and lower KS2 (Y2-Y4). All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
First the presentation investigates how Australia’s position closer to the Equator impacts its climate. Next, students are introduced to Australia’s three climate zones (tropical, arid and temperate) and find out how this effects weather in different parts of the country.
The activity challenges students to identify the climate zones of different Australian towns and cities:
Easier - Students identify the climate zones of 12 towns/cities.
Harder - Students identify the state and climate zones of 12 towns/cities.
Extension - Students investigate which climate zone has the most towns/cities and what this indicates about Australia’s population.
