This lesson is part of Mountain Environments, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS2 (Y4-6). First the presentation introduces some of the most famous mountain ranges from around the world. The differentiated activity then challenges students to locate the world’s mountain ranges and encourages them to use and explore atlases. It is recommended that students do the activity in pairs. Easier – Students identify the world’s famous mountain ranges (less writing). Medium – Students identify the world’s famous mountain ranges (first letter clues) Harder – Students identify the world’s famous mountain ranges (no clues) If you like this resource, we would appreciate a review! We will happily send you a free resource in return for a review or useful suggestions/feedback. Contact us at ed@teachitforward.co.uk.

Teach the stages of fossilisation with this folding ammonite craft. Ammonites were pre-historic sea creatures with tentacles and a spiral shell. Their fossils can be found all over the world in many different types of sedimentary rock! This activity is designed to complement the KS2 science curriculum and is a fun alternative to a standard fossils worksheet. There are 4 similar templates to choose from for this foldable activity: Colour the images, cut out and fold Colour the images, cut out the words and sequence them, glue the words in place, cut and fold. Colour the images, cut out the words and pictures, sequence, glue, cut and fold. Larger version of template 3 (over 2 pages). When closed, you’ll just see the large fossil ammonite but when opened, the fossilisation process will be revealed! You can see a finished example on my Facebook page here. Instructions for pupils are provided (including a picture showing how to fold) as well as some questions for a whole class discussion. Some suggested answers are provided for this. US and UK versions are included. Please note this resource is not editable.

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! ~ SunnyDaze on TPT
