This revision worksheet covers beaches (constructive/destructive) and formation of sand dunes, spits and bars from the AQA geography specification Coastal Landscapes - landmarks from deposition.
2 versions are included for higher and lower ability. Alternatively, to improve recall students could be given the easier version to complete first and then a week later/next lesson could attempt the harder version.
Answers included.
This revision worksheet covers the following from the AQA geography specification Coastal Landscapes - coastal processes:
weathering
erosion
mass movement
There are 2 versions (for higher and lower ability) along with answers and quick quiz revision questions at the end.
Alternative use of resource - l students could be given the easier version to complete first and then a week later/next lesson could attempt the harder version.
This is a worksheet that provides students with a table to fill out in order to help them find the refractive index of the air glass boundary. It also provides a diagram to support them.
The worksheet also asks the students to summarise the experiment and provides a markscheme. The worksheet with a powerpoint that includes instructions can be found here.
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/refraction-finding-refractive-index-12049987
The experiment is the basic shining a light through a glass block. It could be done for A level, but it breaks down the instructions for the experiment in a very basic way for 11-16 year olds.
This 13-question quiz tests knowledge and understanding for the whole of AQA Coastal Landscapes Unit. Questions cover the following:
weathering + erosion
sand dunes
bays
longshore drift
spits + bars
wave-cut platforms
constructive + destructive waves
caves, arches, stacks, stumps
hard+soft sea defences
Instructions inside the powerpoint:
You will be given 12 questions (one at a time) on pieces of paper that are shaped very differently.
You cannot receive the next question until your group has correctly answered the one you’ve just been given.
As you start answering more questions, you should be able to build up the jigsaw pieces that fit together in the shape of a A4 piece of paper.
When the jigsaw is complete, flip it over (you may need Sellotape for this bit) and complete the challenge task on the back

2 worksheets that allow KS3 students to identify and rank the problems in shanty towns using a diamond 9 worksheet and then pick out what improvements they’d make using a budget and deciding what/where to spend it. They must already know what shanty towns are before doing these activities. Can be done as individual tasks or in groups for differentiation. Can be done in 1 lesson or over 2-3 if you want to include a presentation of what improvements each group has chosen. Great activities if your student like taking ownership of their work.
LO-to revise the differences between constructive and destructive waves
This is a memory-based activity inspired by the popular party game ‘Kim’s game’.
It is up to you how you use this resource:
First, show the fully labelled diagram (slides 2+4 for higher ability and 3+5 for lower ability) with time to memorise. Then show it with one label missing and students have to write what’s missing on their mini whiteboard (kim’s game slides 11-26).
Show the fully labelled diagram (slide2-5) on the board for them to memorise for a set amount of time before taking it off the board. Give everyone a blank copy of the diagram (slides 6-7). They then have to fill in as much as possible from memory. Could have an option to request a second view of the board but this would lose points. Could offer key words either verbally or written on the class whiteboard but also at a cost.
To practise recall – use as a starter each lesson for a couple of weeks and reduce the time limit to view the fully labelled diagram each time until they can do it completely from memory.
Slides 8-10 show possible AFL activities using mini whiteboards
Suggestion – you can do this for any diagram based revision.
This revision worksheet covers the formation of headlands and bays from the AQA geography specification Coastal Landscapes - landmarks from erosion.
worksheet includes:
complete the table to describe headlands and bays
gap fill
complete the diagram
2 versions are included for higher and lower ability. Alternatively, to improve recall students could be given the easier version to complete first and then a week later/next lesson could attempt the harder version.
Answers included.
This revision worksheet covers the formation of caves, arches, stacks and stumps from the AQA geography specification Coastal Landscapes - landmarks from erosion.
3 versions are included for higher, middle and lower ability. Alternatively, to improve recall students could be given the easier version to complete first and then a week later/next lesson could attempt a harder version.

This revision activity covers the types of sea defences from the AQA geography specification Coastal Landscapes - management strategies. It revises: description of how defence reduces erosion, costs and benefits of each strategy.
Hard:
sea wall
groynes
gabions
rock armour
Soft:
dune regeneration
beach nourishment and reprofiling
2 activities are included (see descriptions below)
1. Defence Summary Steet
This activity is designed to help the students revise the material by continually summarising and condensing the material. In the next lesson practise recall by doing the activity in reverse.
Please note – this activity may require access to students’ exercise book, a text book, or access to the BBC bitesize website.
Alternatively, students can just use the attached pictures as a stimulus to test what they remember and self-assess where their weaknesses are.
2. Defence Questions
8 longer answer questions that students could complete as a homework or as a quick test in class after completing the summary sheet activity.
There is a blank worksheet where students can summarise a case study of a defence strategy used at a specific location and how successful it was.
Introduction to push+pull factors in LICs for KS3. Clear tasks with handout and answers provided. Useful to have mini whiteboards available.
Objectives:
State push/pull factors
Explain why these factors cause people in LICs to move to cities
Introduces concept of transportation and deposition in rivers using geographical vocab and engaging images. Planned for KS3 or lower ability KS4. Handouts are included if you decide to use them for lower ability students. 2 sugggested plenaries for you to choose from. The lesson is all about learning the vocab so have mini whiteboards at the ready. Repetition is important - you might have time to add an extra activity where the students write their own quiz based on the vocab they’ve learned or do this as a starter in the next lesson.
Objectives:
Define the terms transportation and deposition
Describe the 4 processes of transportation
Explain why deposition occurs
Aimed at KS3 but also suitable for low ability KS4. Defines push and pull factors (migration) and then has a written activity where students explain reasons why some people move to cities in LICs. Challenge questions to stretch more able. Mini whiteboards suggested for start and plenary. Opportunity for peer assessment on written work.
