AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this fifth lesson in the section we look at how we can manage the impacts of climate change. the starter is designed to test the pupils understanding of the significance of the USA’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement by asking them to make connections between the pictures. It can open up discussion too, We then look at 4 methods for reducing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Alternative energy sources, carbon capture, planting trees, international agreements. The pupils will have a worksheet with several tasks to complete such as describing the method, explaining how it reduces CO2 concentrations, rating the method for sustainability and explaining their rating. We finish the lesson with a GCSE-style question on international agreements with some guidance on how to answer if they need it. In a nutshell lesson includes: Discussion starter on the Paris Climate agreement Worksheet task on the four methods of mitigation Information cards Video clips where appropriate 6 mark GCSE-style question with content guidance 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 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.

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

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this lesson we look at what how climate change may affect the frequency, distribution and intensity of tropical storms. We begin with a true or false starter. Our first task is to look at the meaning of frequency, distribution and intensity in the context of tropical storms, we also consider the reasons why climate change may affect tropical storms. Next we watch a 7 minute video clip on climate change and tropical storms. The students have some questions to answer on a question sheet. We then look at the distribution and frequency of tropical storms. The students create a map using colouring by numbers and then identify regions which have seen an increase or a decrease in frequency. We then look at intensity and the students use data from the last 40 years to create a bar chart that shows the occurrence of severe category 4 or 5 storms in the Atlantic region. We create a diagram to summarise our findings. We finish with a 4-mark GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

A series of lessons looking at climate change and global warming. Lesson 1: Causes- what global warming is, what greenhouse gases are, are humans the cause, deforestation and fossil fuels. Lesson 2: Effects- data about climate change, sea level rise, ocean acidification, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, extreme weather events, effects on health and a graph drawing exercise. Lesson 3: Solutions- what can governments do, the Paris agreement, what businesses can do and renewable energy. Lesson 4: Solutions- what individuals can do to combat climate change. There are lots of exercises and information included in each lesson and it could easily be condensed down into fewer lessons by excluding some tasks. Likewise some of the tasks could be stretched out across several lesson depending upon the time you have. All worksheets/resources needed are within the PowerPoint as hidden slides.

An infographic about climate change and the importance of feedback loops which are accelerating the rise in global temperatures. Global warming is a man-made problem mostly caused by the burning fossils fuels which releases large amounts of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. However, carbon emissions from human activities are just half the story. The Earth’s own systems are raising the global temperatures even higher and these are called ‘feedback loops’. They include systems such as: forests, the atmosphere, permafrost and the albedo effect.
