This lesson looks at how individuals can reduce their carbon footprint at home. It also looks at why some people may not reduce their carbon footprint and what the government can do to overcome these obstacles.
This lesson looks at how water scarcity affects LICs and HICs, with focus on Niger and the UK as case studies.
Lesson includes - describing geographical context of case studies, DARTs, peer assessment, checking, extended writing, stellar model.
Please note - I include notes and suggestions in the ‘notes’ section of the PPT. The home learning texts refers to the new AQA 1-9 text book, but you can substitute this with any information about solving water scarcity that you have to hand.
This is a scheme of learning for KS3 Geography on water:

Water Usage
Water Scarcity
Access to Sanitation - skills lesson on choropleth maps
WaterAid/Solutions to the water problem
Revision
Please note: this is for an overview of lessons so does not include the resources mentioned on them. I do go into great depth with my SOL so you will be able to create your own lessons and resources based on them.
This SOL uses WALTs and WILFs and all activities are explicitly linked to the WALTs. I have also added in checking of learning/AFL as that is a big focus at my school. Home learning and task marking (extended writing) opportunities are highlighted.
This scheme of learning was created for Y7 geography.
The SOL includes:

Methods of improving the development of LICS
Population density, pyramids and the DTM
