This is a differentiated resource for KS3 or KS4 that enables pupils to use a sophisticated digital mapping website to predict the weather for the following day.
They are asked to produce a forecast using video or podcast, but first need to formulate their script using n excellent weather website that visualizes current temperature, wind speed, air pressure and many other weather variables.
The standard worksheet structures the questions pupils should follow in developing their script. The more advanced version allows for pupils to structure their own script and weather variables they think are important to present.
A 35 -60 minute lesson plan aimed at Key Stage 3. Included files are a lesson plan and powerpoint file with all necessary questions and linked videos.

There are two main exercises in this lesson.
Activity 1. - A collaborative group exercise where the pupils organise a UK map of mountain ranges and decide between the group, the appropriate labels and heights. This is a great exercise to visualise the mountains, and not merely view them on a map without any understanding of the vegetation or relief of the land.
Activity 2. This activity consists of differentiated worksheets with and extension task and some higher order thinking questions that provide enough extension for pupils.
The whole lesson comes with a Powerpoint to guide you and the class through the lesson.
This lesson was devised for an interview. It features lesson plan, and resources that takes pupils through the process of longshore drift and the formation of spits.
It is split into three abilities for differentiation with an extension exercise that links the effect of human interaction with the formation and development of spits.
The session is to be supported by youtube clips explaining the processes.
