Activity for pupils to draw and compare population pyramids for The Gambia and The UK, using 2023 data. There is a outline set of axes with an example plot on it for lower ability pupils and a labelling activity to pupils to demonstrate their ability to interpret the graphs. In addition there is a visual hexagons task which asks pupils to explain various factors and their influence on population size and structure which would make a good homework task.

Lesson designed for new AQA. Includes some practice exam questions.

Topics covered include measuring the weather, micro climate, weather forecasting, types of rainfall, air masses, depressions, tropical storm causes and preparation as well as a case study lesson on Hurricane Irma.

Data and graph outline to enable pupils to draw population pyramids for the UK and India. Also includes some thinking skills activities and a population hexagon sheet for homework. Works well as a cover lesson.

Good starter activity to see what pupils know.

Grid reference Power Point. Good for revision.

Designed for the new AQA GCSE. Pupils create fact files comparing the two earthquakes uses the Oxford textbook (one with the ant on the front). Works really well as a cover lesson or as flipped learning for pupils to complete at home.

Pupil worksheet asking pupils to sort the effects of rainforest deforestation into social, environmental and economic.

Year 7 Geography word search

Wordsearch covering natural hazards.

This lesson contains differentiated resources for pupils to understand the significance of factors affecting the damage done in an earthquake. Pupils start by guessing the magnitude of an earthquake from the magnitude and a photo. This is to get them thinking about the role of magnitude in fatalities. Pupils then create a hypothesis to predict the relationship between magnitude and fatalities. There is data and a graph outline (for lower ability pupils) to draw a scatter graph to see what the link is. Pupils then think about the other factors that affect earthquake impacts and create a significance star to show which factors they think are most important. They then write a paragraph to justify their decisions. Lastly there is a post it note based plenary so that you can assess their understanding.

Geography department handbook for KS3-4.

Lesson to get pupils to understand the weather associated with the passage of a depression. Involves pupils putting together a pop up diagram to show what the depression would like on a weather map, in cross section and what weather would be experienced as the depression passes over Britain. At the end of the lesson to test understanding there are some questions asking pupils to describe the weather at certain locations. To go with this there is a peer assessment sheet to indicate what went well and what would be even better.

Pupils can cut out the cards and fold them down the middle so they have the questions on one side and the answers on the other.

Pupils plot the track and strength of Hurricane Matthew they then predict where will see the greatest impact and then compare this to the death tolls experienced by each area.

A differentiated lesson for pupils to understand how plate movements lead to volcanic eruptions. There are differentiated resources to allow pupils to write their own explanation of how a volcano erupts at a destructive plate margin. This is follwed by pupils learning the structure of a volcano. Finally pupils learn the difference between shield and composite volcanoes and how their eruptions may differ.

A lesson covering how weather forecasts are made, how they are interpreted and how useful they are. Includes a support work sheet for lower ability. Also weather forecasts interpretation exercise to improve skills and an exam style, to what extent question, with peer assessment sheet.
