I have created a Geography transition work book for Year 6 students to complete to aid the transition to secondary school. This will support students with the key skills needed to progress.

This scheme of work is aimed at KS3 and based around river landscapes. This scheme of work includes the following: How does the hydrological cycle work? What are the key terms and processes associated?  What is the hydrological cycle and how does it work?  Include: key terms of precipitation, condensation, ground-water flow, surface-water flow, evaporation, impermeable and permeable rock. What are the different kinds of geomorphological processes?  Processes of erosion- hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition and solution  Processes of weathering- biological, chemical and mechanical (freeze thaw)  Processes of mass movement- slumping and sliding  Processes of transportation- traction, saltation, suspension and solution What are the long and cross profiles of a river?  Pupils need to recognise the different shapes for both the long and cross profile diagrams of a river valley.  Identify the difference between the upper, middle and lower courses of a river including the valley shape and river channel. How do geomorphological processes lead to the formation of river landforms?  The formation of river landforms (waterfall, gorge, V-shaped valley, floodplain, levee, meander, oxbow lake) Case Study: River Tees  Location of The River Tees  Key features found in the upper, middle and lower course.  Human activities found along the upper course of The River Tees (sheep farming, Cow Green Reservoir and tourism in Middleton) and the impact that this has had on the landscapes.  Human activities found along the lower course of The River Tees (Tees Barrage and meander straightening) and the impact that this has had on the landscapes.

This is a complete KS3 scheme of work of 13 lessons focusing upon the continent of Asia. The scheme of work includes the following: Asia is a wealthy continent. How far do you agree?  Locating Asia – map work (pupils need to learn the names and location of the continents as well as the names and location of countries within Asia)  Contrasting images of Asia to be given to pupils to instigate a discussion about the wealth of the continent.  Pupils answer the key question using the photographs and discussion as evidence.  GDP/GNI map of Asia and any commonly used measure of development. Case Study: Japan  Location of Japan and the four major islands- map work  Japanese climate and physical features  Introduction- what is Japan like and how has it changed?  Japanese ecosystems- concentrate on one of: coniferous or deciduous woodland + flora and fauna adaptations.  Japanese industry- imports and exports (pie chart/bar chart must be used)  Population structure of Japan- ageing population and population pyramids Should tourism in Asia be encouraged? Case Study: Thailand  Introduce tourism in an Asian country (Thailand)  Look at the changing number of tourists visiting the country (graph interpretation) – are there reasons that explain the fluctuating number? e.g. Asian tsunami 2004  Pupils need to investigate the pros and cons of tourism and then be able to justify their decision as to whether they think tourism should be encouraged or not? What are the characteristics of tropical rainforests?  Describe the distribution of tropical rainforests around the world  Understand the that the rainforests grow in layers (shrub layer, under canopy, canopy and emergent) and the reasons for this  Pupils need to be aware that animals and plants have adapted to life in the rainforest and have different characteristics depending on the layer they live in. Do we need to protect tropical rainforests?  Pupils need to understand the importance of tropical rainforests to both humans and the environment  The causes of the destruction of the rainforests needs to be investigated both the human and natural causes  Pupils need to be able to link together the causes of the destruction and the consequences this has.

This is a fully resourced 9 lesson scheme of learning based on the module of population and aimed at KS3. The scheme of learning includes: Lesson 1: Why is the world’s population distribution uneven? Lesson 2: Why is overpopulation a challenge? Lesson 3: What factors influence population growth? Lesson 4: How does the Demographic Transition Model show population change? Lesson 5: How can we study the population structure of a country? Lesson 6: What are the challenges and opportunities created by an ageing population? Lesson 7: What are the challenges and opportunities created by immigration? Lesson 8: What are the challenges created by rural-urban migration? Lesson 9: Should refugees be allowed access to the UK?
