For KS3 geography, this bundle is great for Year 9 students as the lessons revolve around cold environments and are a great starting point for students who want to study GCSE geography as many themes are similar to the cold environments topic at GCSE and provides great foundational knowledge. Students firstly start identifying the difference between the Arctic and Antarctic, then the features of their climates and the adaptation they cause in plants and animals that survive there. Finally students learn about the opportunities and challenges of living in these areas and link them to development.
