A lesson for the topic of Deserts. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. BUILT AROUND AQA 1-9 GCSE. In this lesson, the pupils will play a recap game of 'Blockbusters' based on the two previous lessons in this bundle, before looking at the Sahel as a more specific example of an area suffering from Desertification. The Blockbusters game is an excellent activity which I would suggest adapting for any topic at all! Spellings homework included.
A lesson for the topic of Settlements. The lesson explores dispersed, nucleated and linear settlements and how different groups of people may be affected by settlement change. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson.
A lesson for the topic of Settlements. This lessons learning involves dividing the class to look at benefits and problems with settlement growth, before a homework activity of writing a structured report. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson.
A lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. The pupils will begin the lesson by critically analysing a poor answer to a question about how a stump is formed, before leading into describing how longshore drift occurs. Twitter based definition activity and a homework are included.
My entire half-term of work for Natural Hazards. Taught in the order of:

An anagrams homework included based on key words from the topic.
A lesson or double lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson for high ability but over 2hrs to low ability. This lesson can be taught over either 1 or 2 hrs based on the ability of the class and how you choose to teach it. Pupils will be introduced to options around managing the coast (do nothing, hold the line etc) before producing an information table about 6 methods of engineering, using the information sheets provided (3 hard, 3 soft). The final activity will see the pupils write a letter, using their information table for guidance, stating why they will defend Marine Point in New Brighton (or you can substitute the image for this for any other built up coastal location depending on where your school is).
An introductory lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. The bulk of the lesson explores the two types of waves, constructive and destructive. The starter activity of distinguishing the longest coastlines in the world will be made easier for the pupils is atlases are available, although the presentation has a large map on it to help otherwise. Spellings homework included that can be marked during the following lesson.

In this lesson, pupils will be exploring and defining the types of erosion and transportation that shape our rivers. The main activity see's the pupils complete a cross-curricular maths (graph-based) activity based on the Hjulstrom Curve.
A lesson for the topic of Deserts. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. YOU WILL NEED ATLASES FOR THIS LESSON. This lesson is the third in the series of Antarctica lessons I have created, and the final lesson in the Deserts bundle. The pupils will be looking at the rules of the Antarctic Treaty before embarking on the main task of atlas work, identifying the location of the 28 governing countries. 8 question quiz to finish the series of lessons at the end of the presentation.
A lesson for the topic of Rivers. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. BASED ON AQA 1-9 GCSE. In this lesson, the pupils be creating both a long and cross profile of the three courses of the river. The main activity see's the pupils having to correctly place sentences into the relevant boxes based on the course of the river and whether it is an example of erosion, transportation or deposition.
A lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. This lesson is ideal to be used as a follow up lesson to the two types of waves. Pupils will look at the four different types of erosion before completing an 'annotate' GCSE question on Headlands and Bays to the best of their ability. This activity is effective if it is teacher led with KS3 pupils, I have done this activity with year 7 previously.

A lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. The lesson begins with teacher led recaps in relation to rock type and erosion, but leads into the formation of a stump. The main activities firstly see the pupils reorder the sequence of how a stump forms, before attempting a 6-mark GCSE level question. I have taught this to Year 7 before and those who achieve high marks on the final question become elated to find out it is often asked at GCSE. Mark scheme for the 6-mark question is included in the presentation.
