This is the first lesson in a series on river landscapes in the UK as part of the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson introduces students to river basins and the long profile of a river by creating a pop up river basin for their books. This lesson also includes a local case study to consolidate their knowledge of river basins and their features. This can be easily adapted for schools to create their own local case study. This lesson also features differentiated activities and worksheets.

This is the second lesson in a series on river landscapes in the UK for the new AQA GCSE geography specification. This lesson goes over the processes and features that occur in the upper course of a river. If this unit is taught after coasts then this reviews their knowledge of erosional processes. This lesson looks at how erosion plays a role in the forming of truncated spurs, waterfalls and gorges and includes differentiated activities.

This is the second week of revision homework. Students are asked to create flash cards for the key terms we have learned throughout the rivers unit. This is a method of studying that most students forget to take advantage of and they can keep the flash cards for their mock exam revision.

This lesson will have students examining and discussing the advantages and disadvantages to genetically modified crops (GMOs), and organic farming and it's application to the rural development of the great plains in the USA.

This is a revision lesson to summarize all students have learned about the geography of rural areas in a developed country. They will apply their knowledge to exam-style questions suitable for the National 5 geography exam.

This lesson discusses the changes seen in the Great Plains in the USA. Students can explain the reasons for these changes and explain reasons for and against the growing of crops for biofuels.

This lesson for National 5 in the Scottish National Curriculum covers rural landscapes in a developed country. The example is the great plains of the United States. Students will look at the location of the great plains, the land use of this area and the impact of large scale commercial farming.

This is a lesson designed to introduce students to river features and river basins and involves the creation of a pop-up river basin. This lesson also involves looking at a river close to the school and can easily be adapted to any other location.

This is an assessment that covers everything from the rivers unit from the water cycle to the processes and features in the upper, middle, and lower courses of the river. It also includes revision, feedback sheet, marking scheme and assessment paper.

If you do not have access to lab resources (see other lesson for what is needed), then this lesson introduces the erosional processes that occur in the upper course of a river.

If you have access to lab resources such as: -limestone samples -sandpaper -containers -weak HCl -stream table Then this is a good lesson for you. This lesson introduces students to the erosional processes in the upper course of a river. It is hands on and interactive and can be cross-curricular with science as it involves a lab format and students create and test hypotheses.

This lesson goes over the features that form in the upper course of a river caused by erosion.

This lesson looks into the depositional features created in the lower course of a river. It focuses on oxbow lakes and deltas. There is also a second powerpoint which provides an option of turning the lesson into an ICT lesson if you have access to ICT resources.

This is the second lesson in a series for a case study on the Masai Mara National Reserve. This lesson goes over the good, the bad, and the ugly of tourism in the Masai Mara National reserve. Students will analyse the benefits and consequences of tourism.

This is an introduction to the location, climate and plants and animals found within the Masai Mara National Reserve. This can be done as a case study for a KS3 Africa Unit.

This lesson is an additional lesson to begin a case study unit looking at the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Students use their knowledge of population and learn how to read choropleth maps to understand which areas in Kenya are the most and least populated and can determine the best place for a national park.

This lesson introduces how humans use rivers for different purposes. They are also introduced to the idea of land use conflict. This lesson focuses around local rivers near my school but can be easily adapted to use other local rivers.

This lesson is the first in a series on rivers designed for KS3 Geography. This is a recap of student's knowledge on the water cycle as an introduction to the rivers unit.

This is the fourth in a series of lessons on Coasts for the new AQA GCSE geography specification. This lesson covers the different features that are created by erosion.

This is the fourth lesson in a series on rivers for the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson covers the processes and features that occurs in the lower course of a river. This includes processes of deposition and the creation of estuaries, floodplains and levees.
