Powerpoint and worksheets explaining the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
Starter is an odd-one-out quiz of various human activities which affect climate
Students draw a pie chart showing sources of greenhouse gases from human activities then memorise and sketch the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
The main work involves constructing a mind map of the effects caused by major greenhouse pollutants (carbon dioxide, water vapour, nitrous oxide, methane and halocarbons)
Differentiated questions:
1-3: How does (a) industry and (b) farming make climate change worse?
4-6: How do humans add to the Greenhouse Effect and climate change?
7-9: Using named chemical compounds, explain how human actions increase the rate of climate change
Plenary: affects of contrails on the short-term weather
Enough for two lessons
A glaciated environment at a local scale- The Helvellyn area of the English Lake District
A contrasting glaciated landscape from beyond the UK- The Athabasca Glacier
A contrasting glaciated landscape from beyond the UK- The Sápmi region of tundra, northern Europe
Colour coded: green statistics; yellow definitions; blue dates
Case study of a country experiencing specific patterns of overall population change: Japan- decline + ageing
Case study of a specified local area: place, health and well-being- Hook, Hart, Hampshire
Colour coded: green statistics; yellow definitions; blue dates
Powerpoint and worksheet about the extreme temperatures, precipitation and winds around the World.
The work involves researching Case Studies from info sheets then annotating a World map with explanations for the extremes. Pupils work together, report back to other pupils then to the whole class.
Case Studies are: the Atacama Desert; Ridge A in Antarctica; Mawsynram in India; the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica; Death Valley; Barrow Island off Australia; and Vostok Station, again in Antarctica. Builds on knowledge from Hazards 1: "GLOBAL CIRCULATION SYSTEM". Enough for two lessons.
Eight page booklet : define geological keywords; compile a fact file about a geological time period; a SPAG exercise about British geology; a page to research how humans use clay, limestone, marble and sandstone; a moral dilemma: spend money on repairing a historic cathedral or to look after the poor and homeless; complete a database about some of the World's holy rocks and stones; and finally a page to research questions about the UK's geology
Eight page booklet : define rivers keywords, comparison of the Rivers Severn and Nile; a SPAG exercise about the Humber Estuary; a page to annotate a map of the Colorado to show the importance of the river basin; a moral dilemma based on the water conflict between the USA and Mexico; a look at the holiness of the Ganges; and finally research to find the etymology of British river names
Eight page booklet : define glacier keywords; map skills page to locate and name glacial areas around the World; SPAG exercise about the glaciers on Mars; page to compare advantages and disadvantages of tourism in the glacial landscape of the Lake District; moral dilemma about whether people in the UK should be concerned with the melting of Himalayan glaciers; research page about glaciers in World cultures; and finally a page about Ötzi the Iceman and how his body was analysed by archaeologists
A decision making exercise (set up as a lesson) based around transnational corporations and developing countries.
How can Nigeria meet the United Nations set a Millennium Development Goal of ‘Halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water’?
The Nigerian Government has four options…
-Encourage the use of bottled water in partnership with a transnational company like Nestlé
-Educate Nigerian school pupils to understand the importance of water hygiene
-Form a partnership with a non-government organisation such as Water Aid
-Invest government resources into clean water supplies and sewage treatment works
Includes resources and questions
First Powerpoint in a series looking at the River Tay (Britain's largest river by discharge)
Starter: A comparison of the Tay with the Severn and the Thames and using maps to locate the Tay
Main activities: sketch of a typical river basin, then annotate to show main features (eg tributary, confluence, source, mouth)
Graphing activity to construct the long profile of the Tay (including locating the three stages of the river)
Worksheet and mystery clues comparing the Upper and Lower Stages of the Tay with Bradshaw's River Model
Differentiated questions comparing the Upper and Lower Stages of the Tay Valley
Plenary: video link recapping the long profile of a river
Eight page booklet : define tectonic keywords, complete a fact file about the Tohoku Tsunami; SPAG exercise about Japan's seismicity; empathise with a parent, a businesswoman and a farmer from Japan after the disaster; a moral dilemma about the continued use of nuclear energy; a question about God's role in natural disasters; draw your own version of The Great Wave by Hokusai

Part Two: ECONOMIC investigation to answer the hypothesis "Tourism is important for Hornsea"
Includes: Land use survey; bipolar landscape evaluation; visitor questionnaire; sphere of influence; cumulative frequency graph; bar graph; pie graph; Butler's Model
Powerpoint, worksheet and resource sheets beginning with some strange facts about the climate. Activity finding out how climate data is collected and each method's limitations. A section about climate change denial and the reasons for ignoring the scientific findings. Differentiated questions:
1-3: Choose two of the stakeholders and describe why they might say climate change is not a problem
4-6: Explain one economic reason and one social reason why some people might say climate change is not a problem
7-9: Explain the political and psychological factors which might lead to climate change denial
