The unit was designed for Y9 and synoptically revises their KS3 course whilst using skills and concepts from their KS4 Geography studies (specifically, for Eduqas Geography B but relevant to all boards).

An initial Geography lesson to introduce Y7 to Geography, developing an understanding of human, physical and environmental Geography and looking at the various aspects of Geography that they will study over the KS3 National Curriculum. Ideally you would have the cover of the Hodder Progress in KS3 Geography so they could study the photo on the front more thoroughly but it is the cover photo of this lesson so you do have a copy in case you have not got copies of those books to hand.

This lesson focuses on glaciers as a system and their inputs, outputs and processes. Pupils thus examine the processes involved, such as ablation, accumultation, meltwater, erosion, transportation, etc. Pupils then look at the landforms created by glaciers - Arete, corrie, pyramidal peak, etc.

The final lesson of the Y9 Africa unit supports pupils to understand how Africa’s youthful population, increasing life expectancy and health levels and education standards put Africa in a prime position to work with MNCs to achieve export-led development.
