One-page revision sheets. One side information and the other side tasks to practice recall. A range of topics. I make these up as and when they are needed by our students. Hopefully useful! Why FREE? While the resource is my own creation, it contains elements from other sources (which are cited/referenced where possible) and this resource is considered ‘legacy’ and will not be updated. But I work very hard on making resources that are effective and engaging, so please leave me some kind feedback and visiting my ‘Geogramblings’ website where more up-to-date stuff is available!

This scheme of work is designed to start preparing Year 9 students for GCSE by mirroring part of the ‘Urban Issues and Challenges’ section of the AQA Geography GCSE (8035) which considers a case study of a HIC city and LIC city. Since this unit focuses on two cities at the same time rather than one, the focus is often of comparison and connections rather than depth. This scheme of work is assessed by a mock GCSE tier-less examination at the end of the unit. The assessment is linked to the new GCSE 9-1 grades as well as KS3 progress ladders. As a whole unit, this scheme of work is expected to take around 14-15 hours. Not all resources could be provided. However, this scheme has been uploaded ‘as-is’ for you to use, adapt and develop as you wish, but please credit me as the original author. I would be very grateful if you could review my work, in order to help others judge whether the resource(s) are useful, and how they could be improve them. Thanks!

The monitoring of greenhouse gases globally is an exceptionally important job and is highly logistical. The Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases (CCGG) group of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Global Monitoring Division (GMD) have locations all around the world from where their greenhouse gas air samples come from. This network is a major part of the global monitoring efforts, collaborating with a large number of organisations and government agencies. In this pack are a set of cards for a selection of 40 greenhouse gas sampling sites. Each card contains a range of information useful for discussion and development of further teaching resources. Some teaching ideas can be found on the 'Teaching ideas’ card and a glossary of each card’s attributes are found on the ‘Attributes glossary’ card. Higher resolution images and a spreadsheet of card data are provided. The cards are set out on letter-sized paper which can be printed directly onto a sticker sheet (Avery 8163 - 2”x4”), trimmed and stuck onto blank playing cards. Alternatively feel free to give the card images to any third-party printer who will make playing cards for you!

I would like to share with you all our department’s scheme of work on glaciers. It was co-written with student leaders and hopefully you will find some or all of it useful! This scheme also refers to relevant video clips from a field trip to the USA (http://youtu.be/qC5ZvFeFThU and http://youtu.be/kfrUB8mdYAI) Feel free to download all the resources or [glacier] cherry-pick. ;) I would be very grateful if you could review my work, in order to help others judge whether the resource(s) are useful, and I how I could improve them.
