Lesson 2 for Topic 8 - Looking at the nutrient cycle within the Tropical Rainforest. Pupils begin with re-cap from last lesson before understanding what the nutrient cycle is. Pupils draw the cycle and understand the process with keywords as to why it is ‘the good one’. Pupils then apply to food webs, chains and biodiversity.
Lesson 4 for Topic 8 which looks at the final part for the TRF. Conservation is explored through global groups (REDD and CITES) before looking at local methods of conservation through afforestation etc. Pupils decide which one is more effective for saving the rainforest.
Applicable for all exam boards - mainly for OCR B (Physical Landscapes - Coastal Landscapes) looking at erosional landforms at the coast - platforms, headlands & bays and stump formation
A Year 10/11 KS4 lesson defining development, classifying countries into the 3 main types (AC, EDC, LIDC) as well as looking at a range of social, economic, environmental and political indicators that can increase and decrease development. Included are activities looking at a range of physical and human factors that affect development,
Full-lesson looking at migration within an LIDC country (LAOS) based on the OCR A-level Specification but can be adapted as a Migration-case study for Edexcel or AQA
This lesson is for KS3 (lower-ability) but can be adapted easily. Pupils first understand why we measure the weather and why it is important. The second part looks at the 3 main cloud types and 3 main types of rainfall.
Lesson 4 linked to Topic 4 (UK Physical Landscape) of the GCSE Edexcel B specification. This lesson looks at how human activities such as agriculture, deforestation (forestry) and settlements have influenced the shape and use of land within the UK. this links to 4.2b of the specification.
A GCSE lesson linked to Edexcel B specification - Topic 4. This lesson links to specification 4.2a - the physical influences on the landscape of the UK. The lesson cover: Weathering types; climate, post-glacial processes and slope processes.
Physical, chemical and biological weathering are all explained
Slope processes such as rock fall, landslides and soil creep are included
Lesson based on the different types of geography (physical;human and environmental) - perfect for Year 7. Activities involve sorting, picture quiz, looking at skills, spelling test and geography in the news task!
A lesson allowing students to work independently and to look at urban vs rural areas. A game of splat is included as well as re-cap opportunities for students. Guess the country flag powerpoint too!
A lesson tailored for GCSE (Topic 4) - UK Physical Landscape. The lesson fits the specification section 4.3a that looks at features formed by erosion (wave-cut notch/platform; crack to stump; and what factors influence erosion (rock type; seasonality and wave type). Diagrams and videos are included.
This is part of the GCSE Edexcel B Specification. Topic 4 (UK Physical Landscape) looking at section 4.3a (Coastal change and conflict).
The lesson introduces the coastal section and looks at erosion. The lesson also looks at concordant vs discordant coastlines.
A lesson looking at a re-cap of layers, the 3 main plate boundaries (convergent, divergent and conservative) as well as the difference between a shield and composite volcano.
