Teach earthquakes and volcanoes at KS3 with a complete, ready-to-use unit — 14 lessons, fully resourced, with a differentiated assessment tracker built in. This KS3 geography bundle covers tectonic hazards from foundational plate boundary theory through to comparative risk analysis of contrasting places (including Haiti and the Tōhoku earthquake), giving pupils the knowledge and skills needed to tackle GCSE physical geography with confidence. Everything a teacher needs is included — scheme of work, lesson resources, PowerPoint slides with hinge questions, data cards for volcano classification activities, and a smart Excel assessment tracker. The only task for you is adding images to slides and worksheets; all images have been omitted deliberately to avoid copyright infringement, and notes within the files tell you exactly what to source and where to look. What’s in the bundle: Scheme of Work — full 14-lesson sequence with an Intent, Implementation and Impact statement referencing the KS3 National Curriculum (2014) Geography Programme of Study on plate tectonics. Designed to apply principles from the neuroscience of learning, including spaced retrieval practice and cognitive load theory, through a deliberately varied activity diet, supporting pupils in transitioning from routine to adaptive learners. PowerPoint Slides — 14 lesson decks with built-in retrieval practice, hinge questions and exit checks. Full formative assessment. Resource Pack — print-ready worksheets, structured activities, hinge-question tasks and volcano classification data cards (Mauna Loa, Mount St Helens, Kīlauea, Yellowstone, Stromboli) covering every lesson in the unit. Tasks are sequenced from guided to independent and include worked examples. Includes summative assessment and markscheme. Differentiated Assessment Tracker (Excel)for summative assessment — designed around prior attainment, not a single fixed threshold. Assign each pupil LPA, MPA or HPA from a dropdown and the traffic lights adjust automatically: Question Analysis tab identifies which questions the class found hardest, ideal for planning reteach lessons Ideal for: KS3 geography | tectonic hazards | plate tectonics | volcanic eruptions | seismic activity | earthquakes and volcanoes | natural disasters | physical geography | KS3 to GCSE transition | differentiated resources | assessment for learning
