Lesson 11 looks at carbon footprint, energy mix and energy security. Lesson 12 looks at the views on future use of energy between different players (TNCs, governments etc) whether to switch to renewables or carry on with business as usual (fossil fuels). Links to Edexcel GCSE B specification

Lesson 9 looks at methods of making homes and transport more energy efficient. It also looks at methods of conserving energy. Lesson 10 is a summary of energy types (pros and cons) including solar, wind, HEP, biomass, nuclear and hydrogen fuel.

Lessons 7 for Topic 9 (Energy resources) looks at conventional drilling and the associated benefits. Lesson 8 looks at the two methods of unconventional drilling (hydraulic fracking and tar sands)

Lesson 5 (oil production and consumption) and lesson 6 (factors affecting the supply and price of oil) are included for Topic 9 (Energy Resources) for the Geog Edexcel B GCSE specification.

Lesson 3 and 4 for Topic 9 (consuming energy resources) looking at factors affecting access to energy (9.2a) and the second part looking at patterns of energy consumption (9.2b)

Topic 9 (Geography GCSE Edexcel B) Energy resources - lesson 1 (looking at the 3 different classifications of energy) as well as lesson 2 (environmental issues of obtaining renewable and non-renewable energy)

A lesson looking at Peru - Gap Year travel or general geography e.g. volcanic activity, Machu Picchu, Nazca lines and volunteering opportunities in the Jungle. Lots of opportunities for a carousel activity or for pupils to plan a trip to Peru/advertise a poster?

A KS3 lesson looking at population in China. The lesson looks at the one-child, two-child and promotion of the three-child policy in 2021.

A KS3 lesson looking at the DTM (Demographic Transition Model) through the 5 stages. Pupils check what they can tell already before looking at each stage in detail. Quiz included.

A summary lesson for Topic 8 (Forests Under Threat) Geography GCSE Edexcel B - checklist, exam question, formative assessment and a range of activities to consolidate pupil knowledge

Lesson 8 looks at methods to conserve the taiga biome. 3 are considered - national parks, wilderness areas and selective forestry. Pupils then consider reasons to conserve or exploit the taiga biome

Lesson 7 looks at the direct and indirect threats facing the Taiga biome. The direct threats are explored before looking at the 3 main indirect threats (acid rain, pests and forest fires). TRF comparison is made.

Lesson 5 looks at point 8.2a of the specification - Edexcel Geography GCSE B - Taiga location, plant adaptations as well as animal adaptations. Pupils re-cap, identify, describe and explain these adaptations before linking to the overall Taiga biome. TRF comparisons are considered too,

Lesson 6 for Topic 8 looks at how the nutrient cycle operates within the Taiga biome. Processes are draw, described and explained with a clear link to climate. Food webs and chains are explored before a look at biodiversity.

Lesson 4 for Topic 8 which looks at the final part for the TRF. Conservation is explored through global groups (REDD and CITES) before looking at local methods of conservation through afforestation etc. Pupils decide which one is more effective for saving the rainforest.

Lesson 3 for Topic 8 looking at direct threats and indirect threats to the Tropical Rainforest. Linked to the specification pupils discuss, identify and explain the different type of threats with a link to biodiversity.

Lesson 2 for Topic 8 - Looking at the nutrient cycle within the Tropical Rainforest. Pupils begin with re-cap from last lesson before understanding what the nutrient cycle is. Pupils draw the cycle and understand the process with keywords as to why it is ‘the good one’. Pupils then apply to food webs, chains and biodiversity.

First lesson for Topic 8 (Forests Under Threat) with the GCSE Geography Edexcel B specification. This builds on Topic 7 and looks at TRF layers, plant adaptations and specific animal adaptations linked to the rainforest.
