The aim of this lesson is to build up a case study of sustainable transport in Mumbai. The lesson starts by introducing the students to a definition of sustainable transport. Next the students are split into groups. They are given a resource linked to one of three sustainable transport solutions, these include improved rail links, new road building and improvements in bus transport. They are given 10 minutes to read this and then create a teaching resource on flip chart paper. After that each group takes it in turn to teach the class. They should outline the sustainable strategies and explain how they work. Whilst talking, the other students should take notes on their speech in order to complete a PEE paragraph. They will also need to write a paragraph about their own solution. At the end of the speech they should rate their teacher. They can use a different colour for each of the two groups that they will hear on their rate my teacher sheet. Finally, they can practice planning an 8 mark answer and assess their note taking sheet. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

Firstly, there is a skills activity where the students plot the track of the typhoon using longitude and latitude. Next the students are introduced tot he damaging effects through a series of photographs. After that they are asked to classify facts about the causes and effects on a mind map. Finally they are asked to interpret a graph about the frequency of tropical storms and to consider whether or not they are becoming more frequent.

This is part of a series of lessons on ecosystems available as a bundle. The lesson starts by defining biomes. The students next task is to take part in a carousel. It sets out expectations for the quality of the notes and provides an easy and a hard note taking sheet. The resources contain a variety information including maps, graphs, diagrams, photos and text. They resources are differentiated with black writing for everyone to take notes from, black and purple for slightly more able and black, purple and green for the most able. When note taking has been completed there is a modelled opportunity for peer/self assessment. Finally, there is an examination question with mark scheme and suggestions for other ways in which the students could be questioned.

This lesson introduces the key coastal terminology and is supported by photos to help develop the pupils understanding. At the end there is a glossary, which the pupils can complete throughout the lesson. there is also an activity to encourage the students to apply their new understanding to different cliff geology and lithology. This will help them to hone their understanding of coastal processes before beginning landform work.

This lesson starts with a coasts taboo game to reinforce coastal terminology. It uses diagrams, animations and photos to allow students to firstly describe and then explain how a wave cut platform is created. There is a mark scheme for teach / peer / self assessment. There are also model answers (of differing grades), which students can apply the mark scheme to and critique.
