This lesson is part of Exploring Brazil, a Geography unit designed for students in KS2 (Y4-6), but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson. The presentation first locates Brazil in the world’s climate zones and asks children to infer what the country’s weather and climate might be like. Next, students look at three areas of Brazil in more detail – Manaus in the Amazon, Teresina in the caatinga desert region and Porto Alegre in the south of the country – and investigate a climate graph. There are two activities: Activity 1: Students first investigate three climate graphs, looking at temperature and rainfall. Their challenge is to match each graph to an area of Brazil, explaining their reasoning for their choices. It is differentiated 2 ways: Easier – Students match two statements to each climate graph, then match each graph to one of the three cities/regions. Harder – Students write sentence describing the temperature and rainfall patterns in each climate graph, then match each graph to one of the three cities/regions. Activity 2: Students create their own Brazil climate graphs in Microsoft Excel using step-by-step instructions. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!

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

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. If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review!
