Climate Change: The Human Causes of Climate Change

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this third lesson in the section we look at the human causes of climate change.

We start with a retrieval practice grid which you can populate with your own questions.

We then look at the greenhouse effect and how this works. The pupils will create an annotated diagram as the teacher goes through the stages. We then look at the three main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides. Taking each one in turn the pupils annotate around their hexagons what the human sources of these gases are. There are some video clips to support this.

We finish with 9 mark GCSE-style question with the command word “to what extent”. the pupils have a suggested content and strictire guide to help them if they need it.

In a nutshell lesson includes:

Retrieval practice starter
Annotated diagram task on the greenhouse effect
Hexagon task on the greenhouse gases
Video clips where appropriate
GCSE-style question with guidance on suggested content

Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
