In this lesson pupils decide where to locate a new power station: Sellafield, Hinkley Point or Woodgate, Birmingham. They are given a variety of maps and data in order to do this. When they have decided they write a letter (using a writing frame) to the government justifying their choices. There is also a mark scheme to accompany this. At the end of the lesson it is revealed that Hinkley Point has been chosen by the government. the students are given a variety of information about the new power station to interpret as a homework task.

The lesson starts with a graph showing the changing energy use since the 1950s. the pupils can work in pairs to discuss the main changes. Next there is a living graph activity linked to the reasons for changing energy use and answers. Next is a graph description activity, the graph shows the changes in energy use over time. After that students are given information about sustainable energy solutions at the local and national scale. There is a note taking sheet for pupils to record and evaluate the solutions and also a mark scheme to assess their completed grids. All resources for use in the lesson are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson starts by encouraging the students to estimate the UKs current energy use. Following this are a series of discussion questions for the pupils to tackle. Next the students are introduced to why our use of gas and nuclear energy will increase. The next activity is to draw a proportional map to show where our gas supplies come from. this will develop both knowledge and skills. To stretch and challenge the most able there is also a bar graph/ pie chart drawing activity. Alternatively this could be used as a homework task. All worksheets are included within the lesson PowerPoint.

This lesson is designed for the new A2 syllabus. this lesson includes a water cycle card sort, where pupils classify the water cycle into stores, flows, inputs and outputs.

Answers to all activities are included and all worksheets/ hand-outs are within the lesson PowerPoint.

This lesson was designed for the new A2 syllabus. It asks students to recall the water cycle from GCSE and add more sophisticated terms required at A level. It includes a glossary with answers and diagrams of the water cycle. The pupils are then required to classify parts of the cycle into inputs, outputs, processes and flows (answers included). They can follow up this with a classification card sort activity, with answers. All resources / hand-outs are included within the lesson PowerPoint.

This lesson is designed to be used with the new A2 syllabus. This lesson includes: Why water is important in supporting life on our planet. The use of water by flora, fauna and people.

Included are a range of urban fieldwork data collection sheets that can easily be used in any urban environment. They include index of decay, housing density, housing age, counter-urbanisation.

This booklet includes a wide range of fieldwork based on the Cumbrian coast, that can be adapted for use in any area. Fieldwork techniques include; beach profiles, groyne heights, field sketching, wave counts and defence analysis.

This fieldwork booklet includes sheets to record width, depth, velocity, stone size and stone angularity. It also includes note taking sheets to accompany a tour around flood defences, field sketching, OS map skills. One booklet is based on fieldwork in the Keswick area, the other in the Appleby area but could be adapted for use on any river.

This resource includes two fieldwork booklets that have been used for tourism fieldwork in Grasmere. the activities can be easily adjusted to suit any tourist honeypot.

This lesson teaches students about India’s population policy, which aims to reduced the birth rate to below 3 children per women. I prefer to teach this to the one child policy as it is more factually based. It includes note taking sheets, modelled assessed paragraphs, mark schemes which can be adjusted.

In this lesson students will identify densely and sparsely populated areas. They will then attempt to explain why there are different population densities. There are writing and speaking frames to help them to do this. There is also a mark scheme which can be adapted to your school’s Key Stage 3 assessment policy. There are also opportunities for peer / self assessment. there are a choice of plenaries with a population terminology bingo or a prediction about the future and the impact of climate change.

In this lesson pupils will be introduced to the population terminology needed during the whole topic. They will interpret a graph of world population growth and analyse a world population density map.

In the lesson Students will recap 4 figure grid references before being introduced to giving and reading 6 figure grid references. There are map quizzes (with answers) based on Lyme Regis (Miss Reynolds’ crazy day) and Cambridge maps . There are a number of other maps skills quizzes and answers included in this PowerPoint which will allow you to fill two or more lessons these include: Santa’s day out - River Wye Maps Map skills quiz - Nant Francon & Wastwater / West Cumbria Maps Map skills revision Avery Hill maps All tasks are included in the map skills booklet and all maps are included but will need enlarging so 2cm = 1km.

The lesson introduces students to reading and giving 4 figure grid references. Firstly, the pupils are introduced to giving and reading four figure grid references, with examples to work through included on the PowerPoint and in the map skills booklet. On slide 15 there is a grid of different symbols, which can be used to test the pupils understanding using white boards. Next there is a 40 question grid reference quiz, with answers linked to the Cambridge OS map. I have included a copy of the map. I enlarged these to 2cm = 1km and made laminated set to use with the class. I have also included a pacman template which I use to help the pupils with their 4 and six figure grid references. The quiz is also in the map skills booklet. Finally there are two more extension quizzes relating to the Cambridge map.
