Key concepts covered are: the 3 cell model, air pressure, surface winds, convection and the Coriolis effect. This work was covered over two 60 minute lessons. Plenty of alternatives included with three separate worksheet consolidation activities.
An introductory lesson to the topic of population. Written for GCSE but suitable for KS3. Covers the key definitions, exponential growth and looks at how data can be represented in maps and diagrams.

5. Formation of a wave cut platform (5+)
6. Answer sheet for wave cut platforms.

This lesson covers the formation of cliffs and wave cut platforms. I found myself being frustrated by the lack of process detail that students were putting into their answers. They have textbooks but rarely seem to read them closely! My solution was to design these A3 sheets which guide students through the note taking process by getting them to focus on a wide ranging exam style question. The sheet links clearly to the Hodder text and ensures that students also focus on integrating the case study of Flamborough Head where these features can be seen. The emphasis is on applying processes to formation rather than a simple chronological description. The quality of the final written answers has improved massively as a result of using these. The power-point guides students through the process but the sheet is self explanatory and little teacher input is required. Teacher lesson notes are also included. This resource can also be used as revision activity for Year 13.
