The worksheets were designed to cover the following sections of the AQA specification:
changes in the UK economy
post-industrial economy
science and business parks
They are based on the two textbooks:
GCSE 9-1 Geography AQA by Oxford University Press p. 234-237
AQA GCSE (9-1) Geography by Hodder Education p.288-289
Hope you find it useful.
The worksheet focuses on population growth and decline in rural areas and on social and economic implications of those changes.
It goes with GCSE 9-1 Geography AQA by Oxford University Press textbook p.242-243
Hope you find it useful.
The lesson is based around questionnaire design based on secondary data and presenting and analyzing data after the student collects it in their own class. I always collect additional data from other classes that I teach and they have a more reliable picture overall. Students enjoy the data processing and presentation aspects. It most definitely take you more than one lesson.
All resources needed are in the PPT or attached.

The lesson covers an example of an urban regeneration project to show: reasons why the area needed regeneration and the main features of the project. You need to follow the PPT, all resources are attached. I did it with three classes so far and even the most challenging class got engaged. The lesson uses time management and the pace is fast so no time to waste or misbehave. I chose the Olympic Park as it is in this country and you even can extend the lesson by fieldwork (if you have time). It took me two lessons with each group to complete the lesson and I still have another two groups to go. It uses a wide variety of skills, i.e.: pictures and maps analysis, map reading, exam question answering, guessing problems.
Complete lesson for this topic. From a starter to a plenary with all resources provided. Enjoy and please leave feedback so it will help me to design even better lessons.
