This is a short PPT presentation (7 slides) including a brief video explanation to outline the risks and studies made into 5G.
Its purpose is to inform Geography IA2 students of the problems of 5G and the controversy surrounding it but also to prompt a discussion and further research.
It has been used as part of the Health and Disease topic but can also be a useful PPT for Citizenship, PHSE and other subjects.
Outline of the effects of pollution due to human activity on our health.
This is based on the published guide for IAL students and supplemented with explanations of autoimmune diseases, the effects in countries in differing levels of development, sources of urban and rural pollution,anti-microbial resistance, disease from natural disasters, noise pollution and related past paper materials.
There are third part video clip links, too.

CASE STUDIES: Hurricane Katrina and Typhoon Haiyan
A 110 slide presentation showing the diversity of habitats occurring in Cyprus and species that these support as a result of varied geology, topography and geographical isolation, but also proximity to three continents coupled with a long human impact dating back 10,000 to 12,000 years.
Very useful for Geography A level students, Environmental Science students and Biology students of all levels.
Contains very detailed account of species, photographs and video links
This resource contains a genuine IAL Paper 1 written by a student.
It has one version that can be given to students to mark, and another for teachers that shows the examiner’s marks.
It is a good revision and class lesson into Paper 1 skills (Unit 1 ) and the levels required for different topics.

These are the first 9 lessons for Edexcel International A Level Geography (A2) Weather and Climate at PowerPoint Presentations with reference to exam-style questions and with quiz tests and written class and homework. This will help those of you who struggled to find resources to start the course for September 2017. Lessons include basic intro, atmospheric layers and gases, humidity, condensation, precipitation, instability, insolation, heat budgets and transfers - enough to prepare you for 9 lessons and give students a good base on which to build.
Researching named contrasting cyclones to compare physical characteristics and human impacts. Case studies:
Hurricane Katrina (2005) Hurricane Nargis (2008) - Edexcel IA2 Weather and Climate
IA2 Threat to Biodiversity (International A Level)
Key ideas:
Ecosystem services is an important concept
Key processes operate within ecosystems maintaining their health
‘Wind power is a shameful waste’ - A letter from Mr Clive Turner to a local newspaper disputing the efficiency and benefits of wind turbines in comparison to his advocacy of natural gas.
This is a lesson starter - and students are encouraged to reply to the letter in any way they want - positively or negatively, after researching the facts put to them in the letter and those they find themselves.
A good stimulus for A level discussion (Energy Security)

IAS Geog - Week 1 - World at Risk - Global hazards and causes
65 slide presentation with video links for clear explanation and classroom activities
Enquiry question: What are global hazards and what causes them? IAS Geography / Topic 1: World at Risk
When does a hazard become a disaster?
Natural hazards are caused bygeophysical processes: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Landslides, Tsunamis.
Natural hazards are caused byhydro-meteorological processes: Cyclones, Depressions, Weather associated with a depression, Hurricanes, Drought, Floods, Tornadoes, El Niño explained.
Disaster risk can be explained bythe relationship between hazards,vulnerability and capacity to cope (The Disaster Risk Equation)
Global Warming: Causes of global warming, The major sources of greenhouses gases, Predicted Effects of Global Warming for the year 2100, What have we done about it so far? UNFCCC – 20 Years of Effort and Achievement, Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement, Bonn climate change conference (COP 23)
Context and chronic hazards
How tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, underwater landslides, ice calvings. This PowerPoint presentation includes all the facts and figures for the above case studies as well as video clips (YouTube) from BBC News, CNN and other sources including CCTV clips of tsunami footage.
The resource can be used for IGCSE students for all boards but please be warned that SOME OF THE IMAGERY CAN BE DISTRESSING SO SHOULD BE USED SELECTIVELY (BBC News shows graphic detail)
