Self-guided GIS lesson using Google Earth Web to import two KMZ/KML files and explore the patterns of tectonic boundaries and volcanicc activity. The data files are very extensive and students learn a lot about real world examples. Good for practising tectonic theory and introducing the idea of hotspots.

This activity uses a range of online maps to explore the US-Mexico border. This can also be printed but it works well as a homework task or for remote-learning where every student can complete their own digital copy of the document with their answers.

In this activity, students practise downloading and using KML and KMZ files to create elevation profiles of fold mountains. This is an engaging activity which my students really enjoyed.

Requires each student to have access to a computer or tablet Students use interactive weather maps and webcams to retrieve information and identify weather patterns in selected areas. Students use this information to identify areas most suitable for a range of human activities. The worksheets provide all instructions necessary and requires minimal instruction to run. My students needed 45-60 minutes to complete all tasks.

This lesson was designed for remote learning and is best used either in an ICT room or on student devices. Students explore the links provided to learn about the impacts of the Christchurch Earthquake using a range of websites including Google Streetview. This lesson really helps students visualise the effects and the sheer scale of the damage done by this tectonic event.

Introduction lesson to the amazing free online GIS software FATMAP. Students use the layers and altitude tools to explore the influence of aspect on snowline and treeline/vegetation elevation. My students were very engaged in this task and the software itself is intuitive and immersive.
