Geography is well placed to understand the social impacts of economic change. This resource challenges students to see the relationship between economic development and social development (e.g., health care, life expectancy, education). Students are forced to look beyond economic elements of the Clark-Fisher model and delve into its true meaning. The resource ends with a discursive evaluative question. This is a chance for teachers to develop good reasoning skills in their students. What is the minimum that must be achieved for a country to be considered a success?

This resource introduces the concept of Fragile Environments. It teaches students about the relationship between climate change, desertification, and deforestation. The resource works in full black and white for teacher ease and SEN students. The resource encourages students to think synoptically and connect their learning. The resource comes with teacher notes/answers.

This resource challenges students to think further about the links between economic and human development. It centers around the idea of Healthy & Wealthy and Poor & Sick. The resource builds good geographic skills and numeracy by making students producing, and interpreting a graph. The resource functions as black and white for teacher ease and to aid SEN students.

This is a resource that builds numeracy and evaluative skills. It is a great tool for building geographic skills. Students will learn how the importance of economic sectors differ around the world based on the level of development in various countries. The lesson challenges students to produce economic pie charts for three countries. Students must then interpret these graphs through long form questions. Thee lesson builds on basic knowledge of the Clark-Fisher model.

This is an introduction to the carbon and water cycle. It explores why these cycles are important, the various stores, and the processes. The resource blends notes with activities.

This resource explores one of the fundamental ideas in human geography and demography; population pyramids. The resource challenges students to think more broadly about the characteristics of population, the changes we see through time, and the variations between countries. Later in the resource, students explore the underlying factors that lead to different shaped population pyramids. Ultimately, the worksheet challenges the students to think critically about the challenges of an ageing population.

This resource explores the shared impacts of desertification, deforestation, and climate change. It challenges students to understand that environmental management must take a holistic approach. These issues cannot be tackled in isolation as they are interrelated. The resource encourages students to be evaluative and justify their reasoning.
