In this 2 hour lesson, pupils learn how animals and plants have adapted to survive in the hostile desert environment. A guided reading exercise introduces the various strategies plants use to preserve water, and deal with the extreme temperatures. Pupils then label a diagram of the Saguaro Cactus and explain how these adaptations help the plant to survive. A short video resource is included to highlight the features of opportunistic vegetation such as the resurrection plant. Finally pupils complete a worksheet focusing on the camel and fennec fox, in which they match up the animals adaptations to their purpose.

This 1-2 hour lesson teaches pupils about the sensitive nature of food webs. Students first engage in an interactive task in which they must create their own food web using cards and other members of the class. Once the food chain has been ‘found’ they answer questions about their said chain. Pupils then reflect on the difference between a food chain and a food web. Students are taught how energy flows through a food web, before adding arrows to a example, representing predator pray relationships. In the final tasks the idea of interdependence is introduced. Here pupils are required to explain the impact of various changes to a food web.

This 2-3 hour lessons teaches students how animals and plants adapt to the equatorial conditions of the rainforest. Pupils start by analysing source images, trying to spot the adaptions. They then try to consider how this adaptation may benefit the species. Students then undertake a mix and match exercise matching the plant adaptation to its purpose. Animal adaptations are then investigated through a whole class discussion. Pupils then engage in a fun activity, in which they create their own rainforest species and present it to the class.

This 1 hour lesson teaches pupils about the location and characteristics of the worlds desert environments. Pupils initially shade the major deserts of the world onto a template map, before later considering why deserts form in these locations. Source images are used to stimulate discussion regarding desert features. Pupils then analyse and create climate graphs to further explore these hostile environments.

This lesson investigates the challenges desert environments pose to development. Source images are initially used to stimulate class discussion. A guided reading exercise then overviews the various challenges such environments present. Students analyse climate graphs in an attempt to appreciate the extreme climatic conditions of hot desert biomes.

This 1-2 hour lesson investigates the process of desertification. Students study the Sahel region of Africa and explore both human and physical causes of the phenomena. Numerical skills are developed through analysing rainfall patterns over the last 50 years. Students compete flow diagram which overviews the causes of desertification and support pupils in both linking and developing knowledge. Poor irrigation practices leading to the process of salinization is also taught.

This 2 hour lesson explores how desertification can be prevented at the fringe of hot deserts. Students first complete a guided reading task, which overviews a range of strategies used to prevent the spread of deserts. Students then use a video resource to annotate a diagram, highlighting how appropriate technology supports agriculture in Burkina Faso. Pupils then learn how afforestation is helping to prevent desertification across the Shel region of Northern Africa. A table is then completed, in which strategies are matched up to their respective explanation. A card sort task is also provided, which tests pupils ability to identify the causes, impacts and solutions of desertification.

This 12 week scheme of work is carefully sequenced to allow learners to improve their understanding of why various weather types and climatic patterns exist. Pupils develop various geographical skills and learn to sequence key physical processes, such as the hydrological cycle, as well as a relief, convectional and frontal rainfall. Students will investigate why the UK experiences such variations in its weather and look at the causes and impacts of flooding. This well organised scheme contains all of the teaching and learning materials required to teach this important area of the curriculum.

This 12 week scheme investigates China. China has a rich and unique heritage, spanning back thousands of years. Its huge size produces diverse landscapes and unique physical Geography, found nowhere else in the world. These contrasting landscapes are mirrored by huge inequalities across its human landscapes. Stark population differences and large discrepancies in standards of living across the country provide interest, given how China portrays itself at the world stage. The decisive but often controversial decisions made by the Chinese government have helped China’s economy grow to become one of the largest in the world. This unit investigates this growing superpower, evaluating the impacts of physical Geography and government policy on development across the nation.

This 12 week scheme of work is carefully sequenced to support learners in their understanding of the development gap. The unit starts by investigating the distribution of global wealth, highlighting our unequal and unfair world. Pupils then learn how development is measured through various indicators and evaluate their effectiveness. Learners consider the causes of global inequality and classify the contributing factors. Africa is used as a case study for the unit. Students learn to describe and explain Africa’s diverse landscape and develop Geographical skills using climate graphs. The poor standards of living experienced areas of rural Ghana, as well urban shanty towns are investigated. Pupils consider how these areas influence life chances. To concluded the unit, fair trade is explored as a strategy to reduce the development gap.

Pupils reflect on the global demand for products and services and realise that many products are sourced from countries overseas. An understanding of global trade is developed, as pupils learn about producers and consumers.
Changes to employment structure in the UK helps pupils to understand why many countries are now interdependent, promoting globalisation through world trade patterns. Graph skills are developed within this part of the unit.
Pupils are then introduced to the concept of globalisation and consider how their knowledge wealth of global products, people and services has developed. The main causes of globalisation are considered pertaining to trade patterns, and transport / communication technology.
The impacts of the various types of globalisation on economic activity, cultures and environment is highlighted through case study examples.
The growth of apple as a TNC is investigated, highlighting the reasons and benefits of multinational operation. The unit delves deeper into the electronics industry, highlighting the impacts of primary and secondary industry in the Congo and China, respectively. Pupils evaluate the impacts of operations on the local people and environment.
