Geography and History resources for IGCSE, GCSE and A level. Presentations, classwork and multimedia files for student stimulus, revision and progress.
Geography and History resources for IGCSE, GCSE and A level. Presentations, classwork and multimedia files for student stimulus, revision and progress.
This is a short PPT presentation (7 slides) including a brief video explanation to outline the risks and studies made into 5G.
Its purpose is to inform Geography IA2 students of the problems of 5G and the controversy surrounding it but also to prompt a discussion and further research.
It has been used as part of the Health and Disease topic but can also be a useful PPT for Citizenship, PHSE and other subjects.
A 27-slide PPT presentation to introduce the subject of modern life diseases such as those brought on by lifestyle choices and obesity.
The PPT uses up to date info from the NHS, the Edexcel subject guide and academic papers. It includes links to brief but very relevant videos.
It is primarily intended for IAL Geography students but can be used for Citizenship too.
Using the The Sichuan earthquake of 2008 and the Solomon Islands flash floods of 2014 , here is an example of a student essay that warrants the full 15 marks for the question:
Assess the success of hazard management in contrasting geographical areas you have studied.
This is a class assessment for IAL Geography (Edexcel) at AS level.
It is particularly useful for students that struggle with structure, language, paragraph linking and strong introductions.
Other case studies are, of course, applicable - but these are of a good contrast and relevant.
This PowerPoint presentation covers all aspects of the IAL Geography spec for Edexcel including all the key ideas of:
• [KI] Energy sources can be classified in different ways, and their use varies widely.
• [KI] As well as rising global demand, distribution of energy resources is uneven
• [KI] Energy security varies, as does the security of pathways
• [KI] The future supply of affordable fossil fuels is uncertain
• [KI] Major energy players are key to supply continuity
• [KI] Global energy demand has implications for the carbon cycle
• [KI] Nuclear power is a contested energy source
• [KI] Renewable energy alternatives are increasingly popular
• [KI] Radical approaches may be needed to balance energy demand with environmental concerns
Week 1: Energy supply, demand and security.
Week 2: Energy supply, demand and security / The impact of energy use
Week 3: The impact of energy use
Week 4: Energy security and the future
Week 5: Energy security and the future
The presentation links to the Edexcel updated SOW with supplementary material to enhance or simplify the core knowledge.
Classwork/Homework includes:
• Compare and contrast electricity generation and consumption by country on the EIA website.
• Investigate per capita energy use and energy types in countries at different levels of development and explain these in relation to economic and resource factors
• Drawing conclusions from resource work
• Today’s energy choices will shape the future of energy, but how should we assess their impact and adequacy? (• 1. Where is the global energy system heading, based on the policy plans and investment choices we see today.
• 2. Assess what would need to be done differently in order to reach the climate, energy access, pollution and other goals that policy makers have set themselves.)
• Use world outline maps to map areas of energy surplus (oil, coal, case, uranium) versus locations of highest consumption, and locations with high renewable potential; Add flow lines of major trade flows in oil, coal and gas
• The economic and environmental costs and benefits of :
The Athabasca Oil Sands
Brazil’s Deep Water Oil
Shale Gas/Oil in the Dakotas, USA
VIDEO LINKS to The Economist library on Energy Security, World Economic Forum, BBC, The Guardian and many others.
Specifically made for the new Edexcel International A Level syllabus, but also suited to legacy units and other boards, these presentations and past paper questions cover the necessary knowledge and concepts for this compulsory Unit 3 topic.
Very clearly presented with tasks and good video links, it is good for the first 2 weeks of IA2 teaching on the subject of Biodiversity and threats to it.
IGCSE 9-1 Coastal Environments: Processes and Landforms
This classroom teaching presentation :
defines what the coast is
describes the marine (erosional) and terrestrial (sub-aerial) processes at work on the coast
explains the differences between constructive and destructive waves and how they are generated
explains the process of longshore drift
outlines the factors affecting the coast
makes the distinction between erosional and depositional landforms; concordant and discordant coasts
The presentation is invaluable for teachers looking to guide students through coastal geography topics for the first time at IGCSE level and also for AS level students that have not previously looked at coastal geography and need it for ‘Crowded Coasts’ or ‘Coastal Conflict’ units.
The PPT includes video links for explanation of processes and landforms from the excellent TimeForGeography series.
There are also classwork/homework questions included and explained.
This presentation does NOT include coastal protection measures or policies or any management topics.
This presentation is suitable for both IGCSE and IAS students, giving an insight into the key concepts of smart and sustainable cities.
The CASE STUDIES FOR GEOGRAPHY AS and IGCSE cover the
(Vauban district of) Freiburg, Hamburg, Bristol, and Copenhagen
The 30 slide PPT presentation includes numerous video links for the above cities and good sources for further reading.
Pressures on Borneo’s Rainforest : logging, palm oil, hunting, wildlife trade and global warming.
Brief outline as a PPT to help students look into the problem in more detail.
Includes link to short YouTube clip

The first part of the River Environments topic for IGCSE Geography.
The PowerPoint presentation explains the water cycle as a closed system, the stores and flows in detail and definitions of terms.
At the end of the presentation there is a link to the Pearson GCSE video on the subject.
Included is a worksheet for the students and another for the teacher which includes answers.
PowerPoint presentation with worksheet for students and one for teachers with answers to cover features of a drainage basin, the drainage basin as an open system, source, channel, tributary, confluence, estuary, delta explanations.
