This resource acts as a useful introduction to weather. It asks pupils to define the different variables that make up weather, and produce a mind map.
The second section provides some statements that pupils must decide if they relate to weather or climate. This in turn leads them to writing their own definition for weather and climate, and identifying the differences between them.
A River Meander Worksheet that helps pupils understand how river meanders are formed. The key terms covered include Erosion, Deposition, Slowest River Flow, Fastest River Flow, River Cliff, Slip Off Slope, and Thalweg.
The worksheet starts with a labelling activity on a cross section of a river and a overhead view of a meander. This is followed by a true or false activity where pupils have to consider whether the river would cause a number of different scenarios.
Pupils are then asked to consider what would cause the river to increase in sinuosity and jot these ideas down as a mind map.
Lastly the higher order thinking question asks pupils to think about the implications of rivers on cities such as London or Nottingham.
A worksheet to use when teaching about river transportation. It incorporates the processes of Traction, Saltation, Suspension and Solution when a river transports sediment downstream.
The worksheet is differentiated so that lower ability pupils will have to explain key words, and higher ability pupils will write an extended piece of writing explaining the processes.
A scheme of worksheets for use in a rivers module. These worksheets ideally move pupils through key processes, and apply their knowledge to two case studies in Boscastle and the River Amazon.
This lesson introduces the theme of Settlements to the Year 7 Common Entrance and KS3 Geography group. It thinks about the reasons why settlers would have settled in their chosen locations.
Pupils are asked to look at a variety of locations and identify reasons why first settlers would have built their settlements in those locations.
This lesson was devised for an interview. It features lesson plan, and resources that takes pupils through the process of longshore drift and the formation of spits.
It is split into three abilities for differentiation with an extension exercise that links the effect of human interaction with the formation and development of spits.
The session is to be supported by youtube clips explaining the processes.
A 40 minute lesson that enables pupils to identify issues that make them feel stressed or angry. It moves forward and attempts pupils to identify coping strategies and they produce an action plan for improvement.
Lesson comes complete with a lesson plan and powerpoint.
This is an assembly aimed at inspiring students to achieve their goals and not set limits. It looks at the first moon landing, the breaking of the 4 minute mile, and the breaking of the 2 hour marathon. It allows the presenter to promote a Growth Mindset.
There are video clips that play automatically when used with Google Slides. If used with Powerpoint you will have to set up the automation.
A Geography worksheet asking pupils to identify reasons for global population growth. Pupils have to analyse the trends in the graph alongside some true or false questions that stimulate debate in a class review.
A Coastal management decision making exercise suitable for KS3 or KS4. The pupils are asked to protect a coastline with a specific budget. They take into account the opinions of local stakeholders and perform a cost-benefit analysis before reaching their decision.
A worksheet that takes the pupils through migration definitions with push and pull factors. The pupils then have to identify push and pull factors and colour code each one. Finally there is an extension question where the pupils are asked to investigate the arguments for and against Brexit.
A Powerpoint resource to help explain to pupils how to find 6 figure grid references.
The Powerpoint is really helpful and splits the process of finding 6 figure grid references down into a series of animated steps. This makes it more accessible for pupils to learn how to find and use 6 figure grid references.
There are some accompanying questions to go with the resource.
Get high quality individual and accurate reports for all your students . You set up the comments, and then use teacher speak to allocate sentences to each pupil.
The writer uses Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and will give you three terms worth of reports in one go once you have established what comments you are going to use.
This will save hours of writing and will provide accurate spelling and grammar.
This worksheet provides a series of statements that leads pupils to understand the difference between weather and climate. Pupils then are asked to write a definition for both weather (short term variations in atmospheric conditions) and climate (Long term average of atmospheric conditions).
On the reverse of the worksheet there is a starter activity I use to mind map what pupils know about weather.
This is a differentiated resource for KS3 or KS4 that enables pupils to use a sophisticated digital mapping website to predict the weather for the following day.
They are asked to produce a forecast using video or podcast, but first need to formulate their script using n excellent weather website that visualizes current temperature, wind speed, air pressure and many other weather variables.
The standard worksheet structures the questions pupils should follow in developing their script. The more advanced version allows for pupils to structure their own script and weather variables they think are important to present.
THis resource is an introduction to the structure of the earth. It uses a Youtube Video and asks questions based on the material presented.
Pupils then have a Larger or Smaller task, and a labelling of the earths structure.
This worksheet recaps the ideas behind a basic industry module.
It asks pupils to identify occupations and categorise them into Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Quarternary activities.
It then asks the pupils to identify each economic sector on the demographic transition model.
The third element is a true or false case study task about Nike and its development of factors across the glob. This could be easily adapted for Apple or other TNC. The questions should promote an amount of discussion because they are not actually “true or false” and can be debated.
The final section is an odd one out task, that I have tried to make difficult based on previous pupils questions and experiences.
A Powerpoint based lesson looking at the Heirarchy Pyramid and Settlement Shapes suitable for KS3 and GCSE.
This lesson takes you through each level of the pyramid and identifies the different services at each level.
Pupils will learn about each level and be able to identify specific urban areas on a map and apply them to the hierarchy model.
These worksheets are designed as a review of learning during the KS3 and Common Entrance Geography Settlement module.
There are a number of activities for the students to do. THe lower ability sheet asks the pupils to use colour to identify reasons why settlements grow, and then problems that can be caused. The next section asks the students to label the Burgess model.
Following this there is a true and false section where pupils identify statements that are true or false about the redevelopment of the Olympic park in London.
The pupils are then asked to label the Settlement Hierarchy, and as an extension identify typical services at each level.
The final task on the lower ability sheet is to identify the odd one out words related to settlement hierarchy, and urban growth.
The higher level worksheet follows a similar pattern, but asks the pupils to explain why urban areas grow using the key words used in the lower ability task.
The pupils are also asked to explain whether the redevelopment of the olympic park was a success or not.
The resource is fully customisable and you can adapt for your own needs. You will probably need to adapt the case study section.
This is a game where pupils use a feature in Google Earth and are taken to different places to learn about those locations.
The resources include a powerpoint to be completed by the pupils, or printed off, and a Youtube video with instructions.
