Physical Features of Asia - KS3 (Key Stage 3)

For KS3 geography, this bundle is great for Year 7 in their second term back at school, and is designed to flow with the “Human Features of Asia Bundle”. This bundle allows students to investigate the physical side of Asia with specific looks at countries as case studies with links to key geographical concepts such as earthquakes, plate tectonics with a specific investigation into the 1995 Kobe Japan earthquake.

Throughout the series of lessons, students will firstly begin by identifying plate tectonics and how plate boundaries create earthquakes, secondly they will investigate how the Kobe earthquake happened and then through the other series of lessons students will identify the impacts and responses to the earthquake.

Lesson 1: Asia’s Plate Tectonics
Lesson 2: Kobe Earthquake 1995
Lesson 3: Impacts of Kobe Earthquake 1995
