This contains resources to help students to prepare for statistical questions in their examinations. There are information/revision sheets for each type of statistical test (Mann Whitney, T test, Chi squared and Spearman’s Rank). These include a definition, worked example and significance analysis. In addition there are formulas for mean, mode, median, range, upper quartile, lower quartile and interquartile range.There is also a worked example for upper quartile and standard deviation. Next, there is a card sort with definitions and examples. After that there are a number of opportunities to calculate upper quartile, lower quartile, inter quartile range, mean, mode, median and standard deviation, with answer slides included. At the end of the PowerPoint are the Student resources.

This lesson introduces animals that have adapted to their environment and then asks the students to apply the adaptation strategy to plants in the rainforest. they are given fact cards on epiphytes, trunks and bark, roots and leaves to take notes on. Finally there is a rainforest plant card sort which matches adaptations, with explanations and photos of plant features, to test the students understanding.

This is a lovely decision making exercise. there are 3 plans to develop the rainforest in Madagascar. pupils have to outline each scheme before designing criteria to judge the schemes on. Finally they need to write a paragraph to justify their choice of scheme and rejection of other schemes. There is a writing frame to support this. The plenary asks the pupils to consider and develop a compromise.

The lesson incorporates a range of activities. To start there is a short video clip from the day after the earthquake. Next are slides including maps and plate margin diagrams which can be explained to pupils prior to them completing a gap fill exercise, which explains how the earthquake occurred. After that are a selection of photos of the damage, which can be used for Q and A with the pupils, including a 2 minute video clip of people being rescued from the rubble. I have then included a link to the BBC panorama programme which includes information about the earthquake and explanation of why so many people died. A note taking sheet is included. Next is a fact classification activity, with information about both Syria and Turkey. Finally there is a homework task. All resources are included at the end of the lesson.

This resource includes a wide of data collection sheets which could be used with KS3 to A Level including beach profile, cost of coastal defences, evaluation of the effectiveness of defences, field sketching, groyne height measurements, wave information. They can easily be adapted to any location you are studying and incorporated into your own fieldwork booklet.

In this lesson pupils decide where to locate a new power station: Sellafield, Hinkley Point or Woodgate, Birmingham. They are given a variety of maps and data in order to do this. When they have decided they write a letter (using a writing frame) to the government justifying their choices. There is also a mark scheme to accompany this. At the end of the lesson it is revealed that Hinkley Point has been chosen by the government. the students are given a variety of information about the new power station to interpret as a homework task.

This lesson has a card sort for the water and carbon cycles at the start to remind students how to classify the different parts of the cycle. After that students are introduced to negative feedback loops. there is an example, then students are required to develop two of their own. Next students are required to develop flow charts to explain the human impacts o the carbon and water cycles. An example for urbanisation has been included for them. the students should develop their own for framing and forestry. They can use the OCR textbook to help them to do this. Resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson starts by identifying the characteristics of a volcano and how a volcano erupts. There are facts, photos, maps and diagrams about each types of volcano, these are categorised as basaltic, andesitic and rhyolitic. There are also details of other ways in which volcanoes can be categorised e.g. volcano explosivity scale (VEI). There is also a note taking sheet and a card sort to consolidate students knowledge of the different volcano types.

The lesson includes causes, effects, prevention, prediction and responses to the volcano. Firstly, the students are introduced to Mount Ontake and its tectonic setting. there is a gap fill activity for the students to complete, which forms an explanation of how the eruption occurred. Next there are two clips of the eruption occurring to build up a sense of place and an awareness of the size, scale and form of the eruption. Next is a series of photos of the eruption and a classification activity involving case study facts (answers included). This is followed by a series of clips and information about prediction, prevention and solutions. Finally there is a case study quiz to test the students knowledge of the facts. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson is designed to get students to consider the advantages and disadvantages of re-urbanisation, using the Stratford Olympic Park as an example. To start the pupils are given a definition of re-urbanisation. Next, there are a series of photos and videos to develop the students sense of place and understanding of how the park has changed the area. After that the students are given 9 facts about the advantages of re-urbanisation and are asked to classify them as social, economic or environmental (answers included). They then use a diamond 9 to organise them from most important to least important. They then repeat this task for the disadvantages of re-urbanisation. The lesson ends with a quiz which requires the students to classify the facts into either advantages or disadvantages. All resources and answers are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson aims to revise the key geomorphic preocesses. Answer slides are included within the PowerPoint and all resources are at the end of the PowerPoint. Processes revised include marine/erosion, sub-aerial/weathering, mass movement, waves, wave refraction, sediment cells and LSD. resources included are definition revision cards, landform revision homework sheets. wave characteristic classification and mass movement interpretation.

This fieldwork booklet is designed to link in with the People of the UK GCSE topic. It includes index of decay and environmental quality surveys, UK crime app statistics, accompanied by site descriptions. It also has a multi-cultural survey based in Leeds City Market. There is a survey about the buses, which is a sustainable transport strategies. All the survey sites are identified on the front cover. They have been chosen to allow students to study the CBD and financial district. This fieldwork booklet also links in with my other GCSE lessons based on Leeds

This resource includes two fieldwork booklets that have been used for tourism fieldwork in Grasmere. the activities can be easily adjusted to suit any tourist honeypot. They include amongst other fieldwork traffic counts, physical and human attractions, car park surveys, environmental impact assessments

This booklet includes a wide range of fieldwork based on the Cumbrian coast, that can be adapted for use in any area. Fieldwork techniques include; beach profiles, groyne heights, field sketching, wave counts and defence analysis.

In this lesson pupils will learn about the geology of the Swanage area of Dorset. The lesson incorporates maps, photos and diagrams to help the pupils to develop their understanding. They record their information on a worksheet about the coastal landscape. there are also photos and factual information about coastal management (human activity) in Swanage. Pupils should use their knowledge of coastal landforms to complete the rest of the coastal landscapes work sheet. There are a range of examination questions based on the sample assessment materials to show the pupils how they could be asked about the landscape. There is also a mark scheme and a quiz with answers.

This lesson is a case study of the 2019 Australian bush fires. The lesson starts by recapping El Nino and explaining how this causes drought. There is an examination question and mark scheme and a gap fill exercise, which develops into a model answer for this question when complete. Next the students are introduced to the effects of drought in Australia via a YouTube clips and photographs of the 2019 bush fires. The students are given the task of classifying facts about the effects into social and environmental categories before using these and making links between them to construct PEE paragraphs. One paragraph has been completed for them and they are required to write two of their own. After that the students are given a table of adaptations. They have to classify these by scale before selecting the adaptation that they believe to be the most effective and justifying their choice. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

In this lesson students will learn how to measure straight line distance and actual distance. Firstly, the students will learn how to measure straight line distance using the map skills booklet and the Cambridge maps (I have enclosed a copy but you will need to enlarge them so 2cm =1km). Next, there is a video and an explanation of how to measure straight line distances, accompanied by a series of Cambridge map questions. After that there are two more scale questions, also included in the map skills booklet. Answers to all activities are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson includes details of the Mercalli and Richter scale, with activities including ranking, living graph, map analysis, seismic trace analysis and table analysis. the lesson updates both scales, with current scales being widely used nationally and globally including the Moment magnitude scale, the JMA seismic intensity scale and PAGER. The lesson also incorporates faulting and examination questions.
