A 12-week GCSE Geography homework booklet for AQA’s The Challenge of Resource Management with the Water option. Every week is planned: five short chunks of about 45 minutes in total, real dated data, original exam-style practice and full answers. It gives you a term of purposeful, specification-mapped homework without the planning.
- Weeks 1–4 cover the compulsory 3.2.3.1 overview: why food, water and energy matter, global inequalities, and UK food, water and energy.
- Weeks 5–12 cover 3.2.3.3 Water: global surplus and deficit, reasons for rising demand, factors affecting availability, impacts of water insecurity, strategies to increase supply, and a sustainable water future.
- A specification map shows which week covers each content bullet.
- Please note that the Food and Energy options (3.2.3.2 and 3.2.3.4) are not covered.
Case studies:
- China’s South–North Water Transfer Project (the large-scale transfer scheme). Two weeks cover why it was built, how the three routes work, and its advantages and disadvantages.
- The Hitosa gravity-fed scheme, Ethiopia (the local scheme in an LIC).
- Supporting examples include Cape Town, the Aral Sea, Chennai, the Nile (GERD), the Indus, Singapore NEWater, Israel’s desalination, and UK transfers and reservoirs.
Each week has five chunks:
- Word work (5 min): key vocabulary. From week 3 it adds two from-memory questions on earlier weeks.
- Read it (5 min): a short information box.
- Check it (10 min): short questions answered from the reading.
- Think deeper (10 min): a question that asks students to weigh things up.
- Exam practice (15 min): eight original 6-mark questions across the booklet, plus a data-skills set. Weeks 2 and 11 are short research tasks instead.
Scaffolding and challenge:
- Exam-practice support is withdrawn on purpose: a full paragraph plan in weeks 1–5, the shape only in weeks 6–10, and an unscaffolded question in week 12.
- The support pages include a 48-word Tier 3 vocabulary list with pronunciation, a number bank, sentence starters by AQA command word, and gap-fill versions of the three hardest answers.
- The layout is dyslexia-friendly throughout: Verdana, 1.5 line spacing, left-aligned text and no italics.
Answers and teacher material:
- Answers for every question.
- Indicative content and levels-based success criteria for each 6-mark question.
- Answers to the gap-fills.
- A specification map.
- A class tracking grid.
- A student homework tracker and confidence (RAG) tracker.
- A parents’ and carers’ page.
- Teacher notes on terminology and on figures to re-check before reuse.
- A full sources list.

AQA GCSE Geography Paper 1 + 2 Topic Bundle
Everything you need to teach AQA GCSE Geography Papers 1 and 2 in one bundle: 96 one-hour lessons, six 12-week homework booklets and six spaced retrieval packs. It covers all six topics taught in this series: Paper 1 (Living with the physical environment) Natural Hazards, The Living World and Physical Landscapes in the UK; Paper 2 (Challenges in the human environment) Urban Issues and Challenges, The Changing Economic World and Resource Management. **How the parts fit together:** each unit has three pieces. The lessons teach it. The homework booklet sets about 45 minutes a week of independent practice, with help withdrawn across the term. The retrieval pack gives a weekly do-now that brings earlier blocks back, then two long-interval boosters. A table in each unit's START-HERE guide shows how lessons, homework weeks and retrieval blocks line up. [Do not add "block n follows week n" until blocking item 2 is settled.] **The lessons (96):** editable PowerPoints with timings in the notes, a video slide (linked, not embedded), original exam-style questions with mark schemes and example answers, teacher notes with answers and a specification map, printable resource sheets (Natural Hazards 6, Living World 6, Physical Landscapes 7, Urban 8, Changing Economic World 12, Water 11) and a printed assessment paper per unit. Every unit ends with an exam-technique lesson and a review lesson. Natural Hazards, Physical Landscapes, Urban and Water follow the structure (starter quiz, three learning cycles with checks and practice, exit quiz). The Living World and Changing Economic World lessons use a shorter format (do now, learn-it slides, tasks with stretch, exit ticket). **The homework booklets (6 x 12 weeks)**: about 45 minutes a week in five short chunks: retrieval and word work, a dated reading, check questions, a "think deeper" task and exam-style practice. Support pages, trackers, full answers and a teacher section. **The retrieval packs (6 x 12 starters + 2 boosters)**: weekly do-nows, early ones short, later ones eight to ten minutes, with answers and class tracking. Later starters interleave questions from other units on purpose. **Please note:** * Not included: the cold environments option, glacial landscapes, the food and energy options in Section C, and Paper 3. Living World covers hot deserts; Physical Landscapes covers coasts and rivers; Resource Management covers water. * Lesson videos link to YouTube and a few other sites; please preview each before teaching. * Maps and charts are original. * Exam-style questions are original, not taken from AQA papers. Not endorsed by AQA. * Each part is also sold separately.
