Case Study: The 2015 Nepal Earthquake One Powerpoint but with enough detail for two or three lessons Starter looks at possible advantages and disadvantages of Nepal's geography when it comes to dealing with earthquakes Main body of the work is divided into: LOCATION: map skills exercise CAUSES: plate tectonics, India/Eurasia collision zone; graphing of historic data to look for tectonic patterns; shallow depth earthquakes below the Himalayas EFFECTS: mapping proportional circles to show aftershocks; choropleth mapping exercise to show deaths by district; discussion of social, economic and environmental effects which are then analysed using an A3 worksheet to link and pairs of effects SOLUTIONS: analysis of the usefulness of accepting foreign aid; grid worksheet to assess the sustainability of alternative earthquake proofing (car tyres, plastic bottles, straw and bamboo!) PLENARY: how was Mount Everest affected by the 2015 earthquake? Includes several resources, differentiated questions and links to internet media

The establishment of government and power Peace with Germany Civil war and foreign relations (1918 to 1924) War Communism and New Economic Policy (1918 to 1921) Lenin, government and the Communist Party colour coded: green statistics; yellow definitions; blue dates

Powerpoint and worksheet covering the Global Circulation System and the effects of latitude on climate. Starter looks at photos and how extreme weather might affect human life in those places. Lesson then goes through why the equator is hot/wet, the formation of deserts at 30 degrees and the reasons for cold deserts at the Poles. The worksheet is filled in through the lesson to explain the links between latitude, atmospheric cells and biomes. Differentiated GCSE style questions at the end of each section.

Eight page booklet : define Geographical keywords; complete data file on China's Last Emperor; SPAG exercise about China's pollution; draw and analyse a graph of China's population; Moral decision comparing Communism and Capitalism; Cultural: copying Chinese characters for some Geographical words; drawing/colouring Chinese dragon and lion

Powerpoint inspired by the RGS scheme of work "China Today". Whole lesson, includes starter (images of China), mapping activity (China's neighbours), differentiated questions (life in China) and plenary (best and worst about China today).

A 'footsteps' project about China in the 21st Century. Pupils research data and illustrations to complete the booklet. Footsteps follow sections called: Hypothese; Expected Outcomes; Background; Methodology; Data Presentation; Analysis; Conclusion; Evaluation. Questions for research include: 'China’s growth affects the natural environment because ...' 'In the past, the British Empire affected India because...' 'Most of China’s industries are located in........... because...' 'I think that the winners in Changing China’ are.............. because...'
