A lesson designed for our Y9 Africa KS3 unit. This lesson introduces the location of Africa, alongside reinforcing the location of other major global physical features and lines of latitude, and then examines the location of the major physical features and geography of Africa. The lesson ends with an modelled description of this.

The fifth lesson in the Y9 Africa unit, this lesson leads pupils to understand how rainfall anomalies in the mid 20th century led to increased agricultural activity and population in the Sahel and the subsequent challenges this - and lower rainfall patterns - have caused that threaten the biome in the area (and the implications for humans)

The third lesson in the Y9 Africa unit, this lesson introduces pupils to a range of solutions to desertification (magic stones, drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, etc) and asks pupils to learn about and then present this information to the class.

This lesson introduces the concepts of climate anomaly, glacial mass and the melting of glaciers. It then examines the impacts of glacial melt.

A lesson which introduces the biomes of Russia, including steppe, tundra, taiga and temperate forest. Pupils examine each biome and look at adaptations. Progress in KS3 textbook (Hodder) required for the last part of the lesson

An introduction to cold environments by looking at the polar biome, climate, climate graphs and adaptations. Fully resourced.

Examining the causes and complications of the 2012 Mt Saichan avalanche.

This lesson examines the formation and location of glaciers on Earth.

This lesson introduces the mountain biome, climate and adaptations. It examines how humans are affecting the mountain biome by examining deforestation in the Himalayas, and the consequences of this. Progress in KS3 Geography required for the final part of this lesson

Intended forY9, this is a fully-resourced synoptic unit about international relations designed to support pupils as they move towards GCSE Geography. The unit examines international relations and the factors that affect these, superpowers, alliances, trade, hard- and soft-power, Belt and Road Initiative/debt-trap diplomacy, the causes, consequences and solutions of war and the role and efficacy of the UN. There is an optional final series of lessons to allow pupils to watch Hotel Rwanda to support their learning and provide a but of light relief at the very end of the year - the film is not provided and you should be sure to examine the accompanying PowerPoint that explains the premise to pupils and also states the exact time where the “N” word is used in the film so you can mute it. Pupils examine the main causes of war before investigating the positive and negative outcomes that arise from it. There is an engaging activity designed to promote their use of chains-of-reasoning (ready for GCSE Geography) to elaborate these points. Finally, the environmental impact of conflict is introduced.

Intended for Y8 but suitable for Y9, this lesson is part of a fully-resourced synoptic unit about Asia designed to draw together pupils’ learning from the past two years in Geography. The unit includes elements of coasts, rivers, climate change, development, urbanisation and looks at more challenging and contemporary issues such as the roots of the development gap between North and South Korea and also the abuse of Uighers in China. This lesson briefly introduces the history of conflict between the two Koreas and moves on rapidly to examine the impacts of this in terms of development indicators. Pupils they become familiar with the concept of an authoritarian dictatorship and personality cult. The role of internment camps is examined in some detail to hook pupils’ interest. Pupils examine if NK is indeed a communist country.

This lesson examines the factors affecting international relations and asks pupils to map the major geopolitical alliances of the world.

The unit includes elements of coasts, rivers, climate change, development, urbanisation and looks at more challenging and contemporary issues such as the roots of the development gap between North and South Korea and also the abuse of Uighers in China. This lesson examines the impact of climate change, sea-level rise, mangrove deforestation, unintended outcomes from coastal defences, etc, upon the erosion of Vietnam’s coast, together with strategies of how Vietnam intends to address this.

The unit includes elements of coasts, rivers, climate change, development, urbanisation and looks at more challenging and contemporary issues such as the roots of the development gap between North and South Korea and also the abuse of Uighers in China. This is a two-lesson (possibly three if you wish) group task. In teams, pupils complete maps to show biomes/climate zones and precipitation in Asia. They are given maps to show average temperatures Jan and July and a series of photographs of biomes. There is also a jigsaw-based activity where they need to link up the climatic factors affecting biome distribution - best for more able members of the team. They then use this to create a poster to display in your classroom.

The unit includes elements of coasts, rivers, climate change, development, urbanisation and looks at more challenging and contemporary issues such as the roots of the development gap between North and South Korea and also the abuse of Uighers in China. This lesson introduces the location and discharge of the major Asian rivers. Pupils are reminded of the key elements of their ‘Rivers’ unit (studied earlier but not required as this can also form an introduction to rivers). They create a scatter graph to plot discharge vs. areas of the drainage basis to establish if there is any correlation. They consider what other factors might influence discharge before looking at population density of Asia and considering how water supply might be related to this. The lesson ends with a video on the importance of the Yangtze River.

A lesson, with activities, that introduces the concept of height-above-sea-level and altitude, contour lines, spot heights and triangulation pillars, culminating in the drawing of a cross-section. The lesson is from a Y7 introduction to Geography skill-based unit. It is fully resourced with a range of engaging activities to introduce pupils to the subject and its core skills.
