WJEC - A LEVEL - TECTONIC HAZARDS - VOLCANOES

This is a fully plug-and-play resource for the WJEC A Level Geography course. It includes detailed, well-structured slides to support teachers who may be new to this topic, as well as those returning to it after some time.

The resource is fully aligned with the WJEC A Level Geography specification (2016) and covers Specification Point 1.3 (Tectonic Hazards).

This pack focuses specifically on the volcanoes section of the course.

Although there are nine lessons in total (including a suggested exam and feedback lesson), the depth of content means lessons can easily be split, adapted, or delivered over a longer period to suit the needs of your department and learners.

Lessons included:

Lesson 1 – 1.3.1: Tectonic Hazards

Lesson 2 – 1.3.1: Structure of the Earth

Lesson 3 – 1.3.1: Plate Margins

Lesson 4 – 1.3.2: Types of Volcanoes

Lesson 8 – Potential Exam

Lesson 8 (continued) – Exam Feedback (for selected questions)

Lesson 9 – 1.3.5: Mitigation

All lessons are fully resourced. Where a task refers to a worksheet or handout, clear instructions are provided. Key terms are explained throughout to support both teacher subject knowledge and student understanding.
