Geography - Restless Earth - Earthquakes and Volcanoes (Upper KS2)

This lesson is the first from my Restless Earth scheme of work for upper KS2, inspired by the Collins Primary Geography 6 books and adapted for my class. There are seven lessons in total. Would definitely recommend getting the Collins Pupil book for some great accompanying resources - not too expensive either!

Resource bundle includes: Lesson Powerpoint (PDF), accompanying resources and end of lesson quizzes for each lesson. I’ve also included my Medium Term Plan for the entire scheme!

I got a little carried away when planning this - from memory it easily covered 1 1/2 to 2 lessons.

Slide one: Title page
Slide two: Learning Intention and Targets for Success
Slide three: Planet Earth Prior Learning
Slide four: Lesson Overview
Slide five: Five Layers
Slide six to eight: The Crust
Slide nine: Earth is fragile
Slide ten to twelve: The Mantle
Slide thirteen: The Outer Core
Slide fourteen: The Inner Core
Slide fifteen: Quick Quiz

Slide twenty: Volcanoes task
Slide twenty-one: Where are most volcanoes located?

I hope you love this scheme as much as me and my pupils did!
