A worksheet designed to accompany the NOVA ‘Killer Typhoon’ documentary which is about the strongest cyclone to hit land in recorded history - Typhoon Haiyan, Philippines, November 2013. Focuses on what made the typhoon so destructive, the effects, responses and how can we prepare for the next monster storm.

This is the Somerset Levels (2014) extreme weather event flood case study taught as part of AQA 9-1 GCSE Geography - Paper 1 - Section A. Includes a student worksheet and answer sheet which compliments the BBC documentary - ‘Somerset After the Flood’ in 2015 (link provided). Covers the causes, effects and responses to the flood event.
A whole lesson to help to assess the students prior knowledge of OS maps and help them to practice using four and six figure grid references. I teach this to the year 7’s but could be easily transfered to other ages.
