Quick Fire GCSE Revision Questions: Tectonic Hazards
This is a worksheet that I use as a ‘quickfire quiz’ with my students to jog their memories on the basic and critical facts needed for this module.
One strategy that works well is the following
Give them the questions, and 10 minutes to see how many they can answer
Give them the answer sheet, and anything they got wrong or missed out they should write down in a different colour
Give them a fresh set of questions, and see if they can get 100% this time
The worksheet could be printed with spaces for children to write the answers, used digitally, or used as a template for the kids to write their own flash cards.
There is also an answer sheet attached.
Renewable energy
This resource covers the advantages and disadvantages of fossil fuels, as well as renewable sources of energy.

Nuclear Power Station Hinkley Point Stakeholder Debate
This is a lesson I used with year 10 as a stake holder debate over the issue of Hinkley Point C.
The lesson starts with a cartoon about nuclear power allowing students to relfect on the different perspectives.
Then you will need to create groups for the four stakeholders.
Local Family
Stop Hinkley! Campaign
EDF
UK Government
They have sources to look at, to come up with a one minute speech for the debate.
The lesson ends in a relfection excercise where students place the arguments they heard on a balancing scale. This way they can reflect on the strength of the arguments from different stakeholders.
Geography Christmas Quiz
This is a quiz suitable for KS3 Geography lessons, possibly KS2.
The rounds are as follows:
Face, Place, Flag
Santa Grid Reference
Christmas letters World Map
General Knowledge
Reindeer Compass Directions
For round 2 and round 5 I used a map from Digimaps but I cannot share it, so you will need to make your own OS map and paste it behind the images for these rounds. Any map with grid references on will do. Then you can change the answers for round 5.
