KS3 units of work
Impossible places unit of work
This is an exciting unit of work that I have created for my year 7 geographers. Each lesson they look at a new location around the globe and look at why it is considered an impossible place to live. Each lesson is full of varied, differentiated activities which my students loved! This unit also includes a homework/ project activity, as well as an assessment sheet.
Enjoy!

The 17-page booklet covers the tectonics hazards section of the physical geography unit including plate tectonics, plate boundaries, earthquakes, volcanoes and management.
This extremely useful booklet follows the popular green revision guides (with the jokes) and is ideal to be used as a distance learning resource providing a structured note taking template for students who have the revision guide…
Each booklet follows an easy to follow format with activities added to check their understanding of subject-specific vocabulary and key concepts. Each page links clearly to the revision guide to help structure work. The booklet easily provides 2-4 hours of structured self - supported study. Designed for quick checking and effortless marking.
The booklet is provided as a fully editable A4 Portrait formatted Power-point version (much easier to edit than word!) which allows students to complete and submit electronically or a PDF version for easy printing and completion as a booklet.
I have also included the original 2016 1st Edition Booklet if you are still using the older Revision Guides.
