AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this first lesson in the section we look at what the evidence is for climate change. We start with a picture interpretation around frost fairs on the River Thames and how this might be evidence for climate change. We then look at the graphs that scientists have composed that show how our climate has fluctuated over the years. The pupils will have a large A3 activity sheet to fill in as the lesson progresses. The second section looks at ice cores and how they have helped the scientists formulate records of past climates. We then look at the impacts of global climate change and how they might also be evidence for climate change too. The pupils will write down their own ideas then elaborate with the help of the slides and some video clips. We finish with GCSE-style question with some suggested content if they need help. In a nutshell lesson includes: Picture interpretation starter A3 activity sheet on the evidence for climate change Video clips where appropriate GCSE-style question with guidance on suggested content. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this fourth lesson in the section we look at the effects of climate change around the world. We start with a quote from Great Thunberg and the pupils discuss whether they think she is right that we should be panicking about climate change and its impacts. We then look briefly at climate change impacts in the UK where the pupils will annotate a map of the UK using information from a video clip. We then look at the impacts worldwide, the pupils will be given an A3 sheet with a map surrounded by the impacts, they first locate the region the where the impact will be felt, rate the seriousness of the impact and then categorise each one as either social, economic, environmental or political. Using the information they have now gathered they write a response to Greta Thunberg’s quote using evidence from the lesson. We finish with a post-it plenary using a 2-mark question from the 2019 exam. In a nutshell lesson includes: Discussion starter over Greta Thunberg Quote Annotated diagram of the impacts on the UK A3 map task on the effects of climate change worldwide Video clips where appropriate GCSE-style question plenary Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer
