Geography of Japan (Human and Physical)

Explore Japan’s human and physical geography with the KS3 Geography of Japan unit of work. Students are introduced to key features of Japanese geography including volcanoes, wildlife, natural disasters, climate population density and more whilst building core geographical skills.

The scheme can be taught over seven or eight lessons (two lessons covering the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami can be condensed into one if preferred). The materials are pitched at Year 7 and Year 8 classes and include optional ‘challenge tasks’; tasks could be adapted or differentiated for other age groups.

An editable version of the PPTs are available on request - contact education@japansociety.org.uk.
