Dynamic Population Pyramids: Japan
Students draw the outline shape of Japan's population structure as it changes over time as it moves through stages of development and the demographic transition model. (Requires access to ICT / Internet)
The teachers' version could easily be laminated and converted into a card sort as a starter plenary activity etc for pupils to place in the correct order.
The Chilean Earthquake 2015
A PowerPoint, newspaper article, card sort and data capture sheet (Facts, Causes, Effects and Responses) on The Chilean Earthquake of 2015.
Learning Objective: to understand that Hazard resistant design and preparation procedures (& evacuation) are key factors in reducing the effects i.e deaths of high magnitude earthquakes.
Students work towards answering the question: why did only 13 people die in an 8.7 magnitude earthquake? Higher level students can read the newspaper article and classify the statements in to facts, causes, effects, responses, or you could use the card sort.
Plate tectonics cube display (4 types of plate margin)
A Geography display that shows the different types of plate boundaries/margins. (destructive, constructive, collision and conservative)
The aim is for pupils to draw 4 labelled diagrams on the blank template of the four types of plate margins.
Pupils then cut out the cube template, fold and stick together and they can then be hung up as a display using string.... The more colourful the better! They are also good for revision aids!
*Please be sure to instruct your pupils to draw their diagrams the correct way round so the diagrams can be read when the cube is glued together!
Earth: A cross section
A worksheet about the 3 layers that make up the Earth (crust, mantle and core) (Year 7)
Useful at the start of a topic on earthquakes and volcanoes and thinking about how the structure of the Earth and the mechanism of plate tectonics links to the global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes.
The Syrian Crisis
An assembly providing an unbiased and brief overview of the Syrian Crisis, mainly looking at the differences between migrants, asylum seekers and refugees (who is the distinction important to?)
the desired outcome is to promote discussion about a controversial topic and promote positivity in the face of human tragedy and conflict.
Visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-33843918 for a selection of short video clips to enhance the assembly.
Deserts & Plant Adaptations
Pupils will be able to enquire and ask / research a series of questions, using a data capture sheet. Pupils will know what the definition of a desert is and name an example of at least one and know how desert plants are adapted to their environment.
The resources are differentiated so that higher ability pupils can ask further / higher level questions and the structure of the enquiry sheet can suggest/prompt lower ability pupils for answers. the plenery is a fun idea and it works well with year 8 pupils... surprising how much they can recall.
Where do People Live?
Pupils define and calculate population density complete world distribution maps, plot data using proportional map symbols, and explain why there is a link between environmental factors and population density. Extention task using an Atlas to research additional information.
River Landform worksheet
Pupils will annotate a photo and draw a valley cross section. pupils will answer questions on river landforms and write a balanced extended answer to the potential development of landforlms (such as waterfalls) for the tourist industry. useful for an end of unit test.
Mind Map Template Mount Pinatubo
A blank template to create a mind map about the 1991 Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption. particularly useful when pupils consider the immediate and longer term effects of the eruption. The template can be used for other volcanic eruptions (Just blank out the central box) Useful for revision purposes and developing geographical skills.
Three types of Rainfall
The objectives of the Powerpoint, animation, video and various worksheets are to identify the three different types of rainfall (frontal, convectional and relief). To investigate and understand the mechanisms behind the different types of rainfall, and to identify and explain the link between areas of high altitude and relief rainfall.
The Earth's crust (plate boundaries)
There are a number of different types of plate boundaries. For each plate boundary you will need to be able to describe (i) the movement (ii) processes which occur and (iii) an example
A differentiated set of worksheets for pupils to complete that achieves the above objective.
Quality of Life
Learning objectives:
To explore the idea of quality of life
To understand the ways that the international community tries to define quality of life
To compare the lifestyles of people with differing qualities of life.
