This is a standalone lesson focused on the Willow Project. It was taught at the end of a KS3 Climate Change unit and incorporated due to high levels of student interest / inquisition about the issue.
The lesson includes:
Background information/ context about the Willow Project
Embedded TikTok videos (used as they are informative and engaging short clips on a platform relevant to the students)
Positive / Negative, S.E.E Impact activity with accompanying Stretch and Challenge Extension task.
Diamond 9 impact assessment task.
QR codes linked to two petitions
Campaigning for Change creative option task where students can either choose to create a protest poster about the project or write a letter to the government explaining their view on the project. Both activities supported with success criteria.
A concluding, positive video from David Attenborough about how we are powerful enough to change the world for the better.
I hope that your students enjoy this lesson and that this can save you some valuable planning time. If you do use this with your students, I’d love to be tagged in your posts to see what you create!

This project can be used in both Science and Geography. This consists of approximately 6 lessons dependent on the ability of the group. This booklet has learning outcomes for each lesson and has a range of different activities to keep all students engaged and interested. Also, this includes extension material for any high fliers that finish the work early.
Any comments would be appreciated.
This is an entire unit of work which can be used in a variety of subject areas. This would be a great, long term cover project and has links to humanities as well as the obvious ties to IT. The unit challenges students to choose a location and ultimately create a mock website (on powerpoint) of a specific resort in that country, covering various topics (culture, day trips, travel, food, history etc).
There are opportunities for differentiated challenge, peer/self/teacher assessment and several points of Oracy.
Lessons include well presented, engaging slides with relevant examples and opportunities for creativity.
Please note IPA = Ignite/Propel/Accelerate
Deforestation around the world is occurring at a massive scale especially in Sri Lanka. The most dramatic impact is the loss of habitats and ecosystems for millions of species. The lesson plans use interactive learning to teach students about the importance of ecosystems, plant biology, climate change, carbon offsetting, global citizenship and the carbon cycle. Students will choose a tree to plant from the list provided. For every tree planted in a UK school, a tree will be planted in Sri Lanka through the Atlantic Whale Foundation. The ‘Root Network’ links the two projects together.
A lesson which introduces the Windrush generation.
Contains guidance for a research project including sources such as videos, books, podcasts and museums.
Taught as part of a geography SOW on the UK which coincides with Black History Month.
This project is a great addition to your habitats or ecosystems unit. It can be used as a supplemental learning resource or as an alternative assessment. It includes 8 vibrantly colored biome posters in addition to the cube biome pages. Detailed step-by-step assembly instructions are also provided.
This resource includes eight different biomes. When assembled, each 3-D biome cube contains four biomes. It is at the teacher’s discretion to make this an individual or group project, and whether students pick the biomes they want to work on or if they are assigned. The biome pictures contain enough details to show students the main features of each, while leaving room to draw in additional plants and animals to demonstrate an understanding of each biome. On the front of each cube side, students write a description of the biome as well as listing plants and animals found there and the locations where the biome exists. And, these finished resources will look great when displayed in your classroom!
The following biomes are included:
★ Rainforest Biome
★ Grassland Biome
★ Marine Biome
★ Desert Biome
★ Freshwater Biome
★ Tundra Biome
★ Deciduous Forest Biome
★ Taiga Biome (Boreal Forest)
Four biomes go on each “cube.” They actually form triangular prisms, but I’m counting the air inside each where kids can add pop-up animals, modeling clay, etc. so I call them cubes. :)
Enjoy!

Using different projections of the world students will be asked how reality can be portrayed in different ways. They will understand why different projections are used and the problems and advantages that come with portraying a 3D world in 2D.
Content
This lesson is designed to work with MYP, KS3, NCSS standards and is ready to go straight out the box. This lesson includes the following files; 1) Powerpoint presentation, 2) Resource sheets, 3) worksheets, 4) comprehension test, 5) a lesson plan (MYP aligned).
How to Use
Students will be introduced to a series of different map projections, along with the reasons for their differences. They will then engage in a work task to evaluate what projection is most suitable for a particular task before evaluating the usefulness of a range of projections in real life situations. This lesson can run either as an individual task or a group activity. A model lesson structure is outlined in the lesson plan. This also provides actively provides opportunities for SEN and LEx differentiation.
Who Should Buy This
This lesson can be used by anyone, but it is designed to be taught out of the box. It is best suited to a new teacher or a teacher who wants everything done with no input from themselves. I strongly advise looking at the units bundles if you want to build on each lessons topics sequentially. If you are a more experienced teacher then check out the resource packs for use in history lessons.

A set of 11 homework tasks in a handy booklet for students to use either as homework, in class or to sum up their learning.
Tasks include making up poems, true or false, interviews, researching and creative writing.
This homework worksheet is aimed at KS3 students and includes a set of 6 success criteria. This is a cross-curricular project with Geography which allows students to develop their research skills as well as deepening their knowledge about the capital of France . Because the project homework requires students to mainly respond to the success criteria in English, it allows parents to get involved in the completion of the homework too.
Contains a lesson introducing 3 project options for a year 8 population unit.
Projects options:
Windrush generation research project
Refugee creative writing
Sparsely and densely populated areas research project.
For each lesson there are some slides of information, video links, structured guidance for what the students need to include and how to structure the projects, and success criteria/marking grids for ease of teacher feedback.
Check out my store for the whole unit of population lessons and COVID workbook to accompany them.

Leeds South Bank is one of Europe’s largest regeneration projects, covering 253 hectares of land. 8,000 additional homes are being provided and over 35,000 jobs created by 2028. A massive £500m regeneration initiative has been approved to double the size of the Leeds city centre by redeveloping this ex-industrial area south of the River Aire. With this record level of investment secured, it will be the biggest change the city has seen in more than a hundred years.
This lesson provides reasons for the regeneration and then outlines the key features of the scheme. It includes a range of good quality pictures and there is an accompanying 13 minute video.
