This resource covers section 1 of the new Edexcel Astronomy specification. It covers all the key points that need to be known, except for the key words North Pole and South pole. It can also be used a Geography resource. It could also be used as an A level extension for Physics

First lesson of a SOW looking at economic development. Introduces all measurements of development (HDI, GDP, life expectancy, birth rate etc.). Learning questions: What it development? How is it measured?

Aimed at KS3 but also suitable for low ability KS4. Defines push and pull factors (migration) and then has a written activity where students explain reasons why some people move to cities in LICs. Challenge questions to stretch more able. Mini whiteboards suggested for start and plenary. Opportunity for peer assessment on written work.

This 13-question quiz tests knowledge and understanding for the whole of AQA Coastal Landscapes Unit. Questions cover the following: weathering + erosion sand dunes bays longshore drift spits + bars wave-cut platforms constructive + destructive waves caves, arches, stacks, stumps hard+soft sea defences Instructions inside the powerpoint: You will be given 12 questions (one at a time) on pieces of paper that are shaped very differently. You cannot receive the next question until your group has correctly answered the one you’ve just been given. As you start answering more questions, you should be able to build up the jigsaw pieces that fit together in the shape of a A4 piece of paper. When the jigsaw is complete, flip it over (you may need Sellotape for this bit) and complete the challenge task on the back BIG PRIZES UP FOR GRABS!! please note that when printing you will have to select the double-sided option.

LO-to revise the differences between constructive and destructive waves This is a memory-based activity inspired by the popular party game ‘Kim’s game’. It is up to you how you use this resource: First, show the fully labelled diagram (slides 2+4 for higher ability and 3+5 for lower ability) with time to memorise. Then show it with one label missing and students have to write what’s missing on their mini whiteboard (kim’s game slides 11-26). Show the fully labelled diagram (slide2-5) on the board for them to memorise for a set amount of time before taking it off the board. Give everyone a blank copy of the diagram (slides 6-7). They then have to fill in as much as possible from memory. Could have an option to request a second view of the board but this would lose points. Could offer key words either verbally or written on the class whiteboard but also at a cost. To practise recall – use as a starter each lesson for a couple of weeks and reduce the time limit to view the fully labelled diagram each time until they can do it completely from memory. Slides 8-10 show possible AFL activities using mini whiteboards Suggestion – you can do this for any diagram based revision.

Match key words from AQA Living World module (ecosystems, tropical rainforests, hot deserts, cold environments). 2 differentiated versions for each topic. Aimed at KS4 students but 10-word version could be used with KS3. Answers provided. Suggestion: print and laminate several copies to re-use in class for revision or summarising topics
