Complete scheme of learning (12 lessons) aimed at KS3 focusing upon the continent of Africa. All lessons are fully resourced. This scheme of work includes: Use of Geographical skills to show how we will link to Africa through holidays. Investigating the impacts of tourism in one country in Africa (Kenya) using a case study and suggest how the environment can be protected against mass tourism through eco-tourism. Developing our enquiry skills by looking at where our food comes from. Investigating the causes and effects of the food crisis in Africa and speculate on the possible long term impacts on the continent Investigating how the conflict in various countries are causing problems socially and economically. Investigating why people are moving from rural areas to urban areas in LIDCs and suggest the impact that this might have on the wider community. Investigate the problems faced by the people living in squatter settlements Investigating the possible solutions to the key problems in squatter settlements by using a case study to support your answer.

This is a fully resourced lesson based upon the impacts of tourism in Thailand. The lesson includes the following: • Graph interpretation – pupils need to be able to describe key trends/anomalies on a graph • Pupils will use sources to classify benefits and challenges of tourism into social, economic and environmental effects. • Pupils make a judgement about whether tourism creates more challenges or opportunities. The judgement needs to be supported with evidence.

Where is Asia and what countries belong to Asia? A fully resourced lesson based upon locating Asia and the countries which belong to it. The lesson also focuses upon human and physical geography with classifying activities included.

This fully resourced lesson focuses upon whether tropical rainforests should be protected whilst also exploring additional information about tropical rainforests. The lesson includes: • Distribution/location of tropical rainforests • Use sources to discover why rainforests are of value/important to both people and the planet and how human activity is threatening them • Consider the methods used to manage the threats /conserve the rainforests.

This is a fully resourced lesson focusing upon the types of volcanoes around the world. The lesson includes: • Describing the distribution of global volcanic activity (specifically make links to Pacific Ring of Fire) • Showing pupils images of a shield and composite volcano and ask them whether all volcanoes are the same. • Pupils need to be able to identify and explain similarities and differences between the volcanoes. Shape, type of eruption and consistency of lava are the main differences.

This is a fully resourced KS3 aimed lesson focusing upon why volcanoes and earhquakes occur. The lesson includes: • Introducing pupils to a plate margin distribution map and discuss the fact that tectonic activity occurs at plate margins. • Showing pupils a map of the distribution of tectonic activity and the distribution of plate margins and ask them to make links. • Pupils need to be aware of the three plate margins: Destructive, Constructive and Conservative margins and need to know how volcanoes and earthquakes are created here. • Pupils should be able to draw annotated diagrams and/or create a sequence of steps to explain the formation of hazards at all three margins.

This is a fully resourced lesson based upon the impacts of tropical storms on the countries that they hit. The lesson includes comparing the impacts of Hurricane Katrina of 2005 and Cyclone Nargis of 2008. Categorising of impacts are organised through ‘pizza toppings’.

This is a fully resourced lesson based upon a key question of whether people should live in areas of volcanic activity. Pupils will assess and investigate a range of sources provided to be able to make a judgement on the key question of the lesson.

This is a fully resourced lesson focusing upon whether we can reduce the damage caused by earthquakes. Pupils will look at earthquake grab bags and assessing their content, earthquake proof buildings and prediction/preparation methods.

This is a fully resourced lesson based upon tropical storms and their causes. The lesson includes: • Pupils firstly need to know that tropical storms can also be known as hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons. The names change depending upon where in the world they occur. • Pupils describe the distribution of tropical storms using a map. • Pupils need to be aware of the conditions needed for tropical storms to occur (warm oceans over 27 degrees Celsius) • Pupils then need to sequence the steps to explain the formation of a tropical storm.
