A lesson about the monsoon focusing on India looking at climate graphs aimed at KS3.

This lesson investigates the many ways we use the oceans, territorial water, oil drilling, fishing transport many others. Students complete several tasks including labeling images of varying ocean uses and describing ocean uses using a table which can be differentiated in terms of how many factors (slide 6) they look at.

This lesson investigates the effect of various types of pollution on the ocean; light, noise, plastic and the process of eutrophication. Sources includes readings, diagrams and Youtube clips

This research based lesson gets students to use the internet to research different indicators and to look at trends to predict the future. There is graph analysis at the beginning and then students make conclusions at the end. I would recommend students use Hans Roslings’ Gapminder website to access information

A lesson aimed at KS3 focusing on the formation of meanders and ox-box lakes, there are activities involving the labeling of river cross sections, a gap fill on the formation of a meander and step by step formation of an ox-bow lake and using google Maps to find ox-bow lakes on the Mississippi.

This lesson investigates the collapse of civilization on Easter Island. It starts with a structured activity describing the location of the island and its physical geography using maps as source material. Some key terms are then introduced and ideally added to their glossary (if they have one). A short YouTube video is watched and a text is read providing information on the collapse of civilization, students then answer 5 questions. They then complete a table in which they explain how each different factor made life more and more difficult for people to live on the island. Finally as an extension tasks students apply the lesson learned from Easter Island to our modern day way of life and the way we are exploiting our resources.
