This resource is designed to last for 12 lessons and be independently completed during lock down. It includes the following topics: development indicators and index, employment structure, trade, fair trade, aid, Charity:water case study. It is a single PowerPoint with instructions for the students to follow on each slide. The idea is that over the 12 lessons the PowerPoint will build up into a project that can then be submitted for teacher assessment. The lessons have differentiated tasks to stretch the more able. Each lesson/topic area can be graded using the mark scheme and AtL (attitude to learning) score, which can then be recorded in the student’s diary (these are all located on slides in the PowerPoint). Many of the resources are included at the end of the slide show, although a number of hyperlinks to websites and videos are also included. I designed this lesson for Year 9 but it could be used across KS3. I have also included a version for students who do not have access to the internet. I have tried to make this: Easy for the students to download - only one PowerPoint file. Easy for the students to follow - clear instructions on each slide Accessible - differentiated Challenging - differentiated Good Geography closely linked to what they would have been studying at school. Assessed - mark scheme for self and teacher assessment Well resourced - a range of media for research included.

The lesson includes causes, effects, prevention, prediction and responses to the volcano. Firstly, the students are introduced to Mount Ontake and its tectonic setting. there is a gap fill activity for the students to complete, which forms an explanation of how the eruption occurred. Next there are two clips of the eruption occurring to build up a sense of place and an awareness of the size, scale and form of the eruption. Next is a series of photos of the eruption and a classification activity involving case study facts (answers included). This is followed by a series of clips and information about prediction, prevention and solutions. Finally there is a case study quiz to test the students knowledge of the facts. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson is a case study of the 2019 Australian bush fires. The lesson starts by recapping El Nino and explaining how this causes drought. There is an examination question and mark scheme and a gap fill exercise, which develops into a model answer for this question when complete. Next the students are introduced to the effects of drought in Australia via a YouTube clips and photographs of the 2019 bush fires. The students are given the task of classifying facts about the effects into social and environmental categories before using these and making links between them to construct PEE paragraphs. One paragraph has been completed for them and they are required to write two of their own. After that the students are given a table of adaptations. They have to classify these by scale before selecting the adaptation that they believe to be the most effective and justifying their choice. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

The lesson starts with a graph showing the changing energy use since the 1950s. the pupils can work in pairs to discuss the main changes. Next there is a living graph activity linked to the reasons for changing energy use and answers. Next is a graph description activity, the graph shows the changes in energy use over time. After that students are given information about sustainable energy solutions at the local and national scale. There is a note taking sheet for pupils to record and evaluate the solutions and also a mark scheme to assess their completed grids. All resources for use in the lesson are included in the PowerPoint.

In this lesson pupils will learn about OS map symbols. There is a workbook to accompany this series of lessons. Map symbol cards are included in the lesson. I usually cut these up and get the whole class involved in amass card sort, matching up the cards and the symbols. This can be repeated to consolidate pupil’s understanding of map symbols. A the end there is a map symbol quiz.

Included are a range of urban fieldwork data collection sheets that can easily be used in any urban environment. They include index of decay, housing density, housing age, counter-urbanisation.

In this lesson pupils will learn about the geology of the Swanage area of Dorset. The lesson incorporates maps, photos and diagrams to help the pupils to develop their understanding. They record their information on a worksheet about the coastal landscape. there are also photos and factual information about coastal management (human activity) in Swanage. Pupils should use their knowledge of coastal landforms to complete the rest of the coastal landscapes work sheet. There are a range of examination questions based on the sample assessment materials to show the pupils how they could be asked about the landscape. There is also a mark scheme and a quiz with answers.

This booklet includes a wide range of fieldwork based on the Cumbrian coast, that can be adapted for use in any area. Fieldwork techniques include; beach profiles, groyne heights, field sketching, wave counts and defence analysis.

In this lesson pupils will learn about the geology of the river Eden, Cumbria. The lesson incorporates maps, photos and diagrams to help the pupils to develop their understanding. They record their information on a work sheet about the river landscape. They are the required to use their notes on river management (human activity) and river landforms to complete the rest of the river landscapes work sheet. There are a range of examination questions based on the sample assessment materials to show the pupils how they could be asked about the landscape. There is also a mark scheme and a quiz with answers.

There are a number of activities in this powerpoint presentation, which will take 2-3 lessons to deliver. To start students will be asked to recall the water and carbon cycles in the rainforest. They will then be asked to interpret graphs showing the rate of deforestation and the reasons for deforestation. Next are a series of photos which can be used to promote discussion about the reasons for deforestation. Students will then need to draw diagrams and take notes on the effects of human activity in the water and carbon cycles. The students will be asked to evaluate whether the impact on the carbon or water cycles is greatest. More able students should be encouraged to bring in the idea of longer and shorter term impacts. Finally, I have included a 16 mark examination question for the students to plan an answer to. Two model answers are also included to allow the students to approach the question in different ways. This lesson is part of a series of lessons and can be purchased as a bundle.

Firstly, students are introduced to positive and negative feedback. They are then given examples of positive and negative feedback in the water and carbon cycles. they are required to order the statements to demonstrate feedback (answers provided). Next the students are asked to use the resources provided to explain the impacts of diurnal changes in solar radiation, seasonal changes in sunlight, temperature and foliage. Next there is a Spearman’s rank activity. This requires pupil to develop a null hypothesis, calculate Spearman’s rank and assess the significance of the results. This is designed to be set either as a test or homework activity for the students to complete independently (answers provided). All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

Firstly students are introduced to shifting cultivation, as a sustainable way for tribes to live in the rainforest. Students are then asked to use the information provided to undertake comprehension activities on 3 schemes; reforestation, conservation and improvements in agriculture in the Amazon. there is also a youtube video link to accompany the conservation scheme. Students are provided with note taking sheets and should ensure their notes focus on the impacts of the 3 schemes on the carbon and water cycles. To finish students evaluate the 3 schemes before reaching a conclusion as to which is the most effective. This is part of a series of lessons and is available as a bundle.

In this lesson the students are introduced to hydrograph features and types of hydrograph. They will discuss and explain these. Students will then be introduced to the impact of geology, relief and temperature on the water cycle and are required to explain these in relation to maps and diagrams. Students will be asked to identify the impact of an individual tree on the water cycle in the rainforest. There is an opportunity to plan a 10 mark exam question as well as a model answer being provided. Finally, there is another examination question and mark scheme for the pupils to plan an answer to or answer fully. This lesson is part of a series of lesson and can be purchased as a bundle.

This resource includes two fieldwork booklets that have been used for tourism fieldwork in Grasmere. the activities can be easily adjusted to suit any tourist honeypot. They include amongst other fieldwork traffic counts, physical and human attractions, car park surveys, environmental impact assessments

This lesson is designed to revise the way in which processes and time combine to form landforms on a low energy coastline. It focuses on Farewell Spit ( and it’s sand dunes and salt mashes) in New Zealand. At the start the students are asked to produce an annotated diagram of LSD. Next the students are shown a range of images of farewell spit. They have a copy of these and are asked to label the spit features that they can see on them. Next, the students are given a worksheet on which to write an explanation of spit formation (including salt marshes). After that, there is a model examination answer sheet to complete. This could be done for homework or in the lesson. Then the students are given a table of facts about Farewell Spit and have to try and explain what the fact is (answers provided). These include facts about the different timescales over which the landforms were created. Next, there are series of examination questions for the students to plan. Finally, there is another copy of the fact quiz to see what they can recall now they have revised the information. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

Students start by drawing the water cycle on a partially completed Arctic Tundra background. Next students add additional annotations of how the water cycle would change in Arctic conditions. Then the students are given specific information about how the water cycle is altered in the Arctic to add to a new diagram. Finally, students are asked to compare the water cycle in the rainforest to the tundra. They are required to include factual information in these annotations.

In this lesson students will learn how to measure straight line distance and actual distance. Firstly, the students will learn how to measure straight line distance using the map skills booklet and the Cambridge maps (I have enclosed a copy but you will need to enlarge them so 2cm =1km). Next, there is a video and an explanation of how to measure straight line distances, accompanied by a series of Cambridge map questions. After that there are two more scale questions, also included in the map skills booklet. Answers to all activities are included in the PowerPoint.

In this lesson pupils will be introduced to the location, climate and structure of the Amazon rainforest. They will learn about the different layers and interpret, maps and diagrams. This is a part of a series of lessons based on a case study of the tropical rainforest, also for sale as a bundle.
