World Overview Double Lesson

Two lessons that focus on introducing or recapping some key aspects of the world including:
Continents
Oceans
Equator
Hemispheres
Tropics

The first lesson is:
A fully-resourced lesson that focuses on being able to name and locate the continents of the world and the oceans.

Included is:
A presentation that introduces the different continents and oceans, involving some discussion around these, questions and some facts around continents.

An activity that links to the presentation with questions and a map task for naming the oceans and continents. There is also a challenge question for those that finish. An answer sheet is also included for the activity.

A support sheet for the activity which is a map with the continents and oceans named.

This lesson can be used in either KS1 or 2 with a focus on teaching continents and oceans for the first time or coming back to it at the start of KS2.

The second lesson is:
An introductory lesson to the Equator, hemispheres and tropics, suitable for either Year 2 or lower KS2.

Included in the lesson is:
A presentation for the lesson that includes maps that highlight the different areas and some information for discussion, as well as a recap task from a previous lesson focusing on continents and oceans. The recap task is also included as part of the lesson pack with an answer sheet but can easily be ignored for this lesson to stand alone.

An activity that requires children to label the various aspects discussed as well as questions and a challenge question linked to the lesson. An answer sheet is also included for this.

A support sheet that provides a labelled version of the map bar hemispheres.
