A fully resourced and up to date lesson on the Beast from the East - an extreme weather event in England in 2018. Students will investigate the location, causes of the storm, the social, economic and environmental impacts along with the short term and long term responses.
Task 1: Starter - Answer true and false questions about previous learning
Task 2: Using the images on the screen, come up with what you think caused the Beast from the East.
Task 3: Complete the learning clock with information in the PowerPoint starting with identifying where the beast was affected. Then identify the causes of the storm, next to
the social and economic and environmental factors and finally the long term and short term responses.
Task 4: Main Task - Practice exam questions- “Suggest how extreme weather in the UK can have economic and social impacts.” "(6 marks)
Task 5: Plenary - How could we have responded to the event better?

The Challenge of Natural Hazards - (Full SOW) (KS4 - Key Stage 4)
An AQA specification topic for KS4 in GCSE geography about Natural, Tectonic and Weather Hazards around the world and the effects they have on both LICs and HICs. This bundle also covers the climate change topic as well. Lesson 1: Introduction to Natural Hazards Lesson 2: Structure of the Earth Lesson 3: Plate Tectonics and Plate Boundaries Lesson 4: Christchurch Earthquake Lesson 5: Haiti Earthquake Lesson 6: Tectonic Hazards Mitigation and Adaptation. Lesson 7: Comparing the Christchurch and Haiti Earthquakes Lesson 8: Global Atmospheric Circulation Model (GAC) Lesson 9: Tropical Storms Lesson 10: Future of Tropical Storms Lesson 11: Effects and Responses to Typhoon Haiyan Lesson 12: UK Weather Hazards Lesson 13: Beast from the East Lesson 14: Climate Change: Natural Causes Lesson 15: Climate Change: Human Causes Lesson 16: Climate Change: Effects Lesson 17: Mitigating Climate Change Lesson 18: Adapting to Climate Change Throughout the series of lessons students will be able to accurately describe what natural hazards are, different types of natural hazards, and describe the structure of the earth. Then students will investigate the structure of the Earth along with learning about plate tectonic theory and continental drift, this will then be used to describe the plate boundaries along with their characteristics and physical features. Finally students will learn about the Christchurch 2011 (HIC) case study and the Haiti 2010 (LIC) as two areas of contrasting wealth along with the effects and long term/short term responses. In weather hazards students will be able to accurately describe the distribution of the climate globally using the GAC. Then describe the location and formation of tropical storms along with their effects through the case study of Typhoon Haiyan. Next students will look at the weather of the UK and finally describe an extreme UK weather event. In the last few lessons students will look at our changing climate and how this occurs both naturally and also anthropogenically, they will identify the effects and how we can adapt and mitigate them.
