Destructive margins activity is a mystery, answering the question "Why are there a line of volcanoes down the western coast of South America?" Collision zones activity answers the question "Why are there marine fossils on top of Mount Everest?" Plenary looks at how the African-Eurasian margin has created the hills and valleys of south-east England Includes video links and differentiated questions

Powerpoint and worksheets introducing the causes of tectonic movement. Starter reviews pupils' prior knowledge of the structure of the Earth and then builds on this with an annotated divided bar graph of the Earth's layers. Goes on to look at the role of convection, ridge push and slab pull using the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Iceland as Case Studies. Includes video links and differentiated questions.

A decision making exercise (set up as a lesson) looking at future options for feeding Egypt's growing population. Egypt’s climate is changing. Over the next few decades the country is expected to become even hotter and drier than it already is. Presently, oil makes up 25% of Egypt’s exports but this is predicted to run out by 2070. At the same time, the population is expected to grow by tens of millions more people. The Government will need to find a SUSTAINABLE way to feed all these extra mouths very soon. Option 1: Turn more of the Sahara Desert into irrigated farmland by flooding the Qattara Depression Option 2: Build sea defences around the farmland in the Nile Delta of northern Egypt Option 3: Bomb the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam to allow more of the Nile’s water to flow down to Egypt Option 4: Support the use of agricultural fertilisers by lowering the price of farm chemicals

Powerpoint covering spit formation, using Spurn as a Case Study Starter: simple (revision) sorting activity to sequence weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition Main activities:YouTube videos and a mystery activity to find out how Spurn Head has formed.

Plenary: the 250 year cycle of spit formation and destruction at the mouth of the Humber Estuary

Second part gets pupils to draw a sketch map of Holderness then to annotate features that could be lost if erosion continues (using info researched from the internet) Differentiated question: 1-3: Why are there weaknesses found in chalk? 4-6: Why is Flamborough Head prone to erosion? 7-9: What are the geological reasons for the faults found in the chalk at Flamborough Head?
