AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 2C: Water Management section.
This lesson requires the AQA GCSE Oxford textbook
In this lesson the pupils look at the Lesotho Highland Water Project. The pupil’s using the textbook complete a number of tasks to become familiar with the example such as constructing a climate graph, describing places, finding the meaning of facts and figures, creating a map, defining key words, categorising impacts. The sheets need printing out on A3 paper ideally.
We then tackle a question on large-scale water transfer schemes. The pupils have guidance should they need it on how to answer the question and can use their sheet to help them.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification, Unit 2c. The lesson starts with a retrieval practice quiz from the unit. We then locate where the Wakel Basin in Rajasthan is. The pupils then annotate a photograph to explore the issues are around the supply of water to the region. We then look at the Wakel River Basin Project. The pupils use a sheet to read the extract and complete the questions on the project, then they create diagrams and pictures of the water harvesting methods and the pats scheme. We finish with a GCSE-style question with some guidance on how to answer.
In a nutshell the lesson includes:
Retrieval practice starter
Map and photo annotation tasks
Work sheet with questions and diagrams to draw
GCSE style question with a writing frame if needed.
Hope this helps save you valuable planning time.

This unit of work provides resources and templates for creating a passion project.
What is a passion project?
A passion project provides an opportunity for students to
integrate what they are passionate about in the classroom. Passion projects provide opportunity for student voice and choice and as a result focuses on fostering student strengths in the classroom.
What does this Passion Project Planning Guide Include??
This planning guide is a 16 page editable and interactive PDF to guide you through the process of creating a passion project in your class and includes:
Tips and guidelines for creating a passion project
Assignment guidelines for a passion project and associated e-portfolio
A Passion Project Unit Overview with 5 hyperlinked lesson plan lesson plan templates
A Passion Project Rubric Template
A Passion Project Planning Guide Template
Curriculum Outcomes
This project was initially created for a Grade 11 Communications Technology course. However, this project could be modified to be incorporated into any Key Stage 1-5 classes. This project would work particularly well for Key Stage 3, 4, and 5 English, History, Technology and Design, Math or Science course.
Do you need ideas to illustrate the 17 Sustainable Development Goals to your students? Then this is the resource for you. Easily utilized as it includes ideas for projects and case studies for each sustainability goal to build a better future.

Studying and understanding volcanoes is both captivating and essential as it provides insights into Earth’s internal processes and the dynamic forces shaping our planet. Volcanoes play a key role in forming landscapes, influencing climate, and creating fertile soils through the release of minerals. Understanding volcanic activity helps predict eruptions, mitigate hazards, and protect communities from disasters. Additionally, this knowledge informs scientific research on tectonics, geothermal energy, and planetary geology, offering valuable perspectives on both Earth and other celestial bodies. Let’s engage with an excellent teaching resource on that topic!
The research project template provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an project template with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. It gives a rich and supportive framework that can be tweaked as needed for students to support differentiation.
Each research project template includes space for a one paragraph summary (that may or may not link to the 2 page science article also available on this topic). Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats. Further there are 5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words and 3 thought provoking questions (ie: critical thinking questions) they must answer. Finally, each template has 3 alternative thought provoking questions for younger students and 3 other alternative harder questions to extend high flying or older students. Giving you a total of 9 possible thought provoking questions that could be used with students to enhance their research and critical thinking.
The template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you.
The science article provides the perfect grab and go, print and provide resource that can supplement lessons. It is an article with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. I am very proud of this series of science articles and they are rich with information and wonder at the majesty of science. Each science article includes a fun fact(s) to add to the knowledge gained from this article. Formatted in an easy to read and digest manner, each paragraph is numbered to help with referencing and each question answer has a paragraph reference number to point to the specific information (where applicable).

A research project that is designed to enable GCSE/A-Level students to use the HDI Index and HDR in order to analyse two countries of their choice and evaluate the differences of their development. Students are encouraged to use a variety of development indicators to make their comparisons and further research the factors that lead to the disparities.
An overview, structure, success criteria and extension questions are provided for further assistance.
Relevant to section of AQA GCSE Geography specification which states’an example of a local scheme in an LIC or NEE to increase sustainable supplies
of water’.
This document includes advantages and disadvantages to both Lesotho and South Africa of the water transfer scheme.

I created this as a half term long homework. I had never done a proper project based learning activity before but the students responded very well with fantastic results!
try this for yourself, it includes:
clear expectations and list of tasks
ideas for students
clear assessment criteria which can be changed for your school
A research project designed to enable students to develop their own individualised case study on a specific population of their choice. Students will follow a set criteria designed and inspired by subject-specific methodology and Bloom’s Taxonomy. The research project encourages students to become familiar with population indicators, trends and patterns over time, before analysing population issues and creating viable solutions. I use this for my S7 European Baccalaureate course (16-18 years old) but it can easily be implemented in a high-level GCSE class, A-Level or IB course. It usually takes between 10-15 hours.
Included is an introduction, overview, success criteria and feedback sheet.
This resources is designed for Topic 3: Biodiversity and conservation of the IB Diploma Environmental Systems and Societies Course. In particular it is designed to give practical application to 2.5: Investigating ecosystems (measuring biodiversity) and 3.4: Conservation of biodiversity.
It cast the student in the role of conservation manager who has to report on the biodiversity of three sites and make a recommendation of which site should be the conservation priority. It includes sample site data for students to manipulate using Simpson’s Index and an opportunity to create Graphs using Standard deviation error bars on mean data.
The resource also asks students to:
Explain the criteria you used to select which should be protected areas.
Evaluate different approaches to protecting biodiversity guides your choice of area.
The resource includes a full worked example data sheet for educators as well as notes for educators on how students might respond. There is no marking scheme as this is designed to give students an opportunity to undertake a task which could resemble parts of an Ecological based Survey type IA, very similar to those that Ecologists have to complete in the field every week.
