Three resources in one document that will need two one hour lessons to complete or one lesson followed by homework. This has been written for the teaching the new AQA A level Geography however this unit is also found within the other A level Geography specifications. Resource 1 - Sorting activity related to the carbon and water cycle. This helps with synoptic links and includes a section that links the water cycle to carbon fluxes by volcanoes. Resource 2 - Model answer for the following question - Assess the extent to which there are interrelationships between processes in water cycle and factors driving change in the carbon cycle. (20 marks) Resource 3 - An alternative question with a plan to help students to apply knowledge from one essay question to another. This helps them to develop their skills in applying their knowledge to different questions.

‘The Disaster Response Curve (The Park Model) has contributed to improved understanding and therefore management of the impact of tectonic hazards.’ To what extent do you agree with this view? [20 marks] Students I teach find it difficult to evaluate the Park model and as AQA released an example of this in relation to tropical storms, I have decided to create a tectonic version instead. The first version of the essay contains too much content and I use this to get students to discuss the validity of the arguments in each paragraph. Students then decide on which paragraphs should be omitted. The second page of the source contains the edited version with an outline of table that students can use to summaries the advantages and disadvantages of the model.

A glossary of key terms, theory and examples to support the teaching of global systems and global governance. This detailed resource contains over twelve pages of information that is structured in the order that this unit is taught, I have designed this to support the AQA specification however, this will overlap with the other A level Geography specifications.

This model answer helps to show students how to apply knowledge and create an introductory paragraph as well as an evaluative conclusion.

To what extent does an understanding of feedback systems in the carbon cycle help with attempts to mitigate the impacts of climate change? 20 marks. Assess the potential impact of changing vegetation cover upon the runoff in this area. 6 marks. Outline flows within the water cycle operating on a hill slope. 4 marks. This resource includes model answers for each of these questions. I have also included a sorting activity as well as additional tasks and a wider reading list.

Model answers for the 2018 AQA AS Geography exam paper - Coastal section. Includes answers for the following questions: 023 – Outline the concept of Eustatic sea level change. 3 marks 024 – Analyse the data shown in figure 3 & 4. 6 marks 025 Assess the roles of weathering in the development of coastal landforms. 9 marks 026 ‘Sustainable approaches to coastal management will become more important than traditional approaches in dealing with the impacts of climate change.’ 20 marks

Model answers included for the following questions: Assess the role of sub-aerial processes in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Assess the role of erosional processes in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Assess the role of transport pathways in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Under the previous A level Geography specification exam questions often focused on describing landforms and explaining the formational processes. However, the new specification expects students to be able to assess the role of different processes in the creation of coastal landscapes. This work sheet helps students to achieve this. The resources includes: An outline of how wave cut platforms form. A systems analysis activity on wave cut platforms. Exam questions and models answers to support students in assessing the role of different processes in the creation of coastal landscapes.
