Students assess all types of fuel and weigh up their advantages and disadvantages. They use video clips and other resources , then put answers into a table .

Students review current political thoughts and make up their own party and produce a campaign on energy .

This is a lesson that simulates arrival on an island and choices of energy .

There is a large amount of preparation , to present arguments for and against drilling for ol in Alaska. there are video clips and personal statements. Then students prepare a radio broadcast in role.

This lesson looks at the use of fossil fuels and their pros and cons . Read the copyright document and the section on energy before you start.

Looking at the characteristics of left and right sides of the brain.

This lesson explores reptilian reactions.

Students build on the work that they did in lesson 1 i.e identifying emotions and now concentrate on what makes them feel safe. They look at human rights and safety.

How do you make sure that you stay safe? Who is in your support network?

. The emotional part of your brain is very important. Visualizing your future can be a very powerful tool.

What is the difference between a value and an attitude? How can these affect what we think? What are the laws that protect people ?

This handbook was printed out and given to students to support them with their learning. they could write in it and use it for reference .

How to recognise what it feels like when you are frightened.

This unit looks at how the brain helps you to learn.

This powerpoint looks at weather in Reunion during two days in January. Students can use the images to work our what is happening and create a forecast.

Students learn about hurricanes in general and specifically look at Katrina, followed by one in the second lesson which happened in Reunion island. The resource on Dina was created by interviewing students on the island of Reunion.

This study includes personal accounts from students who are the same age as those who are studying. They talk about cyclone Dina which affected the island of Reunion. The causes and effects of the cyclone are identified.

Cyclonic rainfall is perhaps the most difficult for students to grasp. So start off with the basic concept linked to convectional rainfall and rising air turning to rain. Use the big cards again to test understanding before then leading students through the explanations linked to rising air masses that meet. Forcing air to rise is the common factor in all three types of rainfall. Then talk about descending air and the formation of anti-cyclones. The powerpoint contain interactive activities linked to sorting . There are also resources which can be used to make paper models of both depressions and anti-cyclones.

This part shows the alternative powerpoint for the exercise with the cards . There is some exemplar work from students which shows what they can do with the information once they have linked it to the photos ie produce an information leaflet on the climate of Reunion island.

This lesson introduces two types of rainfall. Convectional rainfall is introduced first using large cards which the students have to put in order to explain the process. Releif rainfall is explained and then students use a living graph on the white board. Students use small cards and stick these where they think on the climate graphs.
