Natural Hazards: What are Natural Hazards?

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 1a. in this lesson we start with a photo starter of a pyroclastic flow where the pupils can design their own GCSE style question then answer. We then move on to look at interpreting photographs of natural hazards which is something we do more of later in the unit. We practice on the landslides in Burundi in 2015. We then look at when a natural event becomes a natural hazard. We progress to categorising various hazards to introduce the categories of hazards. We watch a short video clip on human interaction with natural hazards before the students complete a mind map using hexagons of the factors that increase hazard risk. We finish with a practice question with guidance should the students need it.

In a nutshell, the lesson includes:

Create a question starter
Photo interpretation task
Hazard categorising shaded grid task
Video clip
Factors mind map task
GCSE practice question with writing frame.

Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
