Effects and responses to tectonic activity

(0)
This is a 2-part lesson which can be used briefly as a 1 hour lesson or spaced out into a 2 hour lesson. This lesson features case studies from MEDCs and LEDCs on how they have dealt with, and responded to, tectonic activity - with a specific focus on earthquakes and volcanoes. It offers some activities as a ‘recap’ for example, recalling the types of volcanoes and severity of seismic activity on the Richter scale, so it assumes some prior knowledge. However, it builds on this through sorting information into primary/secondary effects, and local/national/international responses. Intended for KS3 mid to high ability. Resource has adapted material from BBC Bitesize.

Development & Demographics

(0)
Resource designed to help contextual understanding on the Edexcel GCSE Geography B specification (Development). This lesson covers the demographic transition model, and illustrates to the student how development and population structure are inextricably linked. It then moves on to population pyramids, and how these look different depending on the development level of the country. The lesson then explores the reasons for high fertility and mortality. Finally, the lesson finishes with a consolidation activity in which it asks students to apply this knowledge to practice questions taken from previous Edexcel GCSE Geography B exams. This lesson was designed as a 1 hour tutorial lesson, but the slides on the DTM could be printed off as a match-up student-led activity. Images taken from Google, Cambridge iGCSE Geography textbook, and BBC bitesize website.
