This lesson requires computers for students to use GIS to collect secondary data by measuring the depth of sand on either side of the groynes (groyne assessment).
This lesson needs laptops or computers for students to analyse data on the English Multiple Deprivation Index. Students will look at how the deprivation in Leeds compares to the national average.
This lesson requires students to use laptops or computers to use GIS. Students will measure how far away certain cities are from plate boundaries and measure how tall volcanoes are.
This is a lesson where students need laptops or computers to use GIS. The students will learn how to measure the area of the ice sheet covering Britain in the last Ice Age and will also learn how to measure the length of glaciers.

This scheme of work is designed to rapidly introduce Year 7 to key geographical skills such as locational knowledge, using development indicators, describing graphs and charts, describing and interpreting climate graphs, describing the relationship between maps e.g. relief and population density and analysing population pyramids.
These skills are covered through the study of three countries; Japan (HIC), Russia (NEE) and Somalia (LIC). This therefore covers aspects of the National Curriculum through studying Russia, a place in Asia and a place in Africa.
The lessons on life and culture in the three countries also provides great opportunities for SMSC and develops students’ awe and wonder.
The lessons are iterative in nature, meaning starters are built in to recap previous learning. The USA v Mexico lessons at the end of the unit are synoptic, in that students need to apply the knowledge and skills to these countries that they have learned during the topic.
Want your students to achieve more 7-9 grades? This case study booklet will be really useful in helping them to revise specific case studies that are not as detailed in revision guides. Includes; Haiti and New Zealand earthquakes, Typhoon Haiyan, Cumbria Floods 2009, Thar Desert, River Tees, Holderness Coast, Mumbai urban issues, Leeds urban issues, tourism in Jamaica, Lesotho Highland water and Wakel River Basin projects.
