All the resources for a series of lessons (4 to 5) about modifying the landscape for water. This looks at the social, economic & environmental impacts of the Elan valley to Birmingham water transfer scheme by gravity. Pupils have an information sheet (best printed in A3 & colour). This provides them with the detail that they need about the water transfer scheme. This information can be used to create a variety of work, but I find that an article works best (included) along with a SEND article sheet. There is a structured Q & sheet and subsequent SPaG sheet that I print on green paper to address the needs of most schools literacy policy. The assessment also put pupil learning into context & can be peer/self or teacher assessed. I have even included a teacher feedback sheet that is used to speed up the marking process.

This is the full SOW for the GCSE geography A OCR specification paper 1 living in the UK.

A really useful tool that outlines the types of tasks that students can do when working creatively and/or independently. This can be used in any subject or linked to any unit of study. It is great to use for metacognitive learning and setting up units of independent learning, especially useful for pupils that struggle to know what to do.

An activity that enables pupils to practice how to annotate & explain images used in the skills paper for most geography exam boards.

A SOW that covers the content for the gcse geography ocr a 1-9 paper 2.

A resource designed to allow pupils to gain an understanding of the methods and skills needed to effectively answer a distribution question.

A sheet used to enable pupils to evaluate (clearly) the pros & cons of primary & secondary methods of data collection linked to a human & physical piece of fieldwork. Spaces are generally blank so as to allow them to be populated with the fieldwork tasks undertaken at you centre. It simply summarises the key points & makes explicit links to fieldwork, without being overly complex.

A task that provides pupils with the skills to enable them to effectively analyse images in geography. This can be used for any Key stage.

A sheet designed to be used by pupils after a piece of workwork. It allows students to think about the processes that they undertook and how & why their practice could/should be improved in the future. It ties well in to metacognitive thinking in that it allows learners to address the entire learning experience and not simply knowledge. This should help promote even more effective learners at a departmental & whole school level.

A great lesson on the effects of tourism in glacial areas. I used this to great effect for both observation and interview lessons. It includes all of the resources that you need and covers a huge amount of content related to AQA, OCR & edexcel 1-9 specifications.

All of the resources needed to take a detailed look at why carbon footprints vary around the world related to a countries leve of development. Linked to the geography KS 3 & 4 curriculum & covers many specifications. OCR, AQA & Edexcel

A test used to assess understanding about carbon footprints. Use at KS3 or 4.

A matrix that easily allows pupils to complete the evaluation of fieldwork/project data collection and presentation. It outlines the hypotheses used for both human & physical fieldwork tasks and then puts all of the learning into a structured GCSE style Q & A format. Can be used for all GCSE & A Level Geography exam boards (OCR, AQA & Edexcel) Best printed onto A3 & back to back. Worked brilliantly with my classes post fieldwork & as a recap lesson.

A lesson on the causes, effects & responses to flooding. This uses the River Ouse in York, but could easily be adapted for any river. Aimed at all year groups and all specifications.

All the resources needed to teach pupils about the uses and characteristics of upland & lowland areas in the UK. Pupils create an overlay (see video). This is a nice way to introduce GIS. Pupils then sort, analyse & explain the pictures. Usually takes two lessons to complete. Suitable for all age groups & easily amended to suit all GCSE geography specifications.

All the resources needed to teach pupils about the uses and characteristics of upland & lowland areas in the UK in a GCSE question context. This really supports pupils in structuring an effective answer. Suitable for all age groups & easily amended to suit all GCSE geography specifications.

A scheme of work that links to content in th UK. Designed for OCR 1-9, but can easily be amended to link to AQA or Edexcel. Covers: weather & climate, continentality, North Atlantic Drift and geomorphic processes. It gives an overview of coverage and will save you a lot of time. It does not break each lesson up into fine detail or depth, but will allow you to create resources following its structure.

A lesson where students learn all about the water cycle. They create a sequenced description, which leads to the creation of a piece of poetry. For all age groups & GCSE/KS3/KS2 specifications.

All the resources needed to teach pupils about the uses and characteristics (climate) of upland & lowland areas in the UK. Suitable for all age groups & easily amended to suit all GCSE geography specifications.
