Kenya - Human and Physical Geography - Lesson!

This interesting and highly-stimulating lesson enables students to describe and understand the key human and physical geography features of Kenya. Whilst gaining a wide range of knowledge about the biomes, cities, climate and animals of Kenya, students also become familiar with a wide range of vocabulary pertinent to the KS2/KS3 geography curriculum.

The lesson follows a clear, logical, bite-size learning journey, which guides students towards relevant and constructive learning objectives. Over the course of this journey, they become able to:

-Remember key facts about the African continent to contextualise their learning;
-Learn key facts about the area, population and main features of Kenya;
-Explore further information about the climate and biomes of Kenya through learning about the different types of world biomes, and how they exist;
-Going on a ‘virtual safari’ to further explore the Kenyan savanna;
-Use a model example in order to carry out their own research about one of the ‘Big 5’ mammals of Kenya;
-Self-assess their progress using the learning objectives.

The lesson requires access to atlases and/or web-searching devices.

This resource pack includes:
-A visually engaging whole-lesson PowerPoint presentation (17 slides);
-A Kenya knowledge organiser, for use in one of the fact-finding tasks (in Word and PDF);

The resources within this lesson can be easily adapted to suit home/remote learning.
