Natural Hazards Lesson
A lesson that focuses on natural hazards, particularly in being able to identify the differences between climatic and tectonic hazards.
The lesson works well as an introductory lesson in teaching pupils about different natural hazards and understanding why these occur. There is everything needed to be able to deliver the lesson including the lesson PowerPoint, starter activity, three activities and support sheets.
The lesson starts with a starter focusing on the equator and tropics to prompt understanding of climate and weather conditions. This then moves on to identifying key vocabulary and introducing the idea of natural hazards.
Activity One then requires pupils to sort examples of natural hazards into climatic and tectonic. There is a cut and stick version of this with images or a separate version using written text for those looking to save on time and printing.
This then moves on to the second activity focusing on being able to identify similarities and differences between climatic and tectonic hazards. This is presented as a Venn diagram with a support sheet to help with ideas. However, there is also an alternative version of the activity should teachers wish to use it, with a reduced outcome through limited boxes available.
This is then followed up by more discussion and a review task to check understanding at the end of the lesson.
Additionally, a support sheet is provided with the key vocabulary, information and images from the PowerPoint all provided on one page for pupils to refer back to.
Earthquakes
A three/four lesson enquiry on earthquakes that looks to answer two questions, as well as providing the opportunity to work through two case studies of earthquakes.
The information and activities are provided within one document that can be printed as a booklet to then work through. This includes key vocabulary, key information and diagrams alongside activities that get pupils to think about and use their learning in different ways, as well as time to answer the two main questions.
Also included is a PowerPoint presentation that can be used alongside the information sheets. This includes everything that can be found in the information sheets, alongside extra written text and instructions within the notes sections.
Both documents have been uploaded as PowerPoints so they can be easily adapted, with these lessons easily adaptable across a range of ages.
Geography Case Study Worksheet Template (Primary and Secondary Effects)
A worksheet template that can be used when doing a case study where you want pupils to consider the primary and secondary effects of an event. This could be used in a number of ways and provides a one page, graphic way of organising the information.
There is also an example one included for the Christchurch earthquake in 2011 for how the sheet could be completed.
World Maps Lesson
A lesson that focuses on world maps, looking at continents and oceans before focusing in on five of the continents and discussing some of the countries that are included within each of the continents.

For those in the U.K, there are then three slides that follow the activity looking at the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom.
