This is the 3rd lesson from Enquiry Question 1 of the carbon and energy unit. This lessons looks at the fast carbon cycle and puts the onus on students to research this (needed for subsequent lessons). Students use the information provided as a starting point to their research and present to the class using the Attitude to Learning Criteria in different areas of presentation skills. Thank you for looking.

This is the fourth lesson in Enquiry Question 1 from the carbon and energy unit. This lesson looks at positive and negative feedback loops using different examples.

This is the fifth (and penultimate) lesson of Enquiry Question 1 of the carbon and energy unit. This lesson takes students through the importance of plants, NPP and differing climates. This is essentially chalk and talk as I found the topic matter somewhat complex and consulted a biology teacher in the school who talked me through a lot of the concepts. The Independent Study Task looks at soil health. The Hodder flag textbook is needed for this lesson. Thank you for looking.

An updated popular resource which had a lot of downloads but only one piece of feedback. This lesson is a role-play/drama activity based on the news story of the scientists in the dock (Oct 2012) about how Italian siesmologists are on trial for not predicting L’Aquila (2009). The information used has come from BBC articles and videos. The powerpoint has notes on how to set the lesson up whilst the word documents are the witness statements and judges questions. It is important that you have done previous work on earthquake prediction, but that they DON’T KNOW what happened with this trial in real life until they’ve been through the courtcase. Works well with top set yr9 or even GCSE. This is a lesson to invite the Head to sit in and be a judge!

Made this lesson as part of a short sequence to cover the 'Food' chapter of Section 3 in the new (2016) GCSE Geography syllabus for AQA. This lesson would benefit from using the Hodder - Widdowson et al book (white/green cover). This is a case study but has an essay template for students to use to plan an answer to a relevant exam questions based on the success of this case study. The longer questions with more demanding command words is a real concern for students taking this course, which is why I feel this resource is worth a look at. This template could easily be adapted to other 'Evaluation' exam questions and will also help with DME structuring. Unfortunately there is no mark scheme at present for this one here. Once I have cobbled one together I will include (free to those who have already bought this resource- message me). Thanks.

This is the second lesson from Enquiry Question 1 of the Tectonics Unit. This lessons walks through creating an hypothesis, scatter graphs, and a full Spearman’s Rank statistical test. It uses the Japan 2011 earthquake/tsunami for data. There is an accompanying booklet for students to use alongside the powerpoint. Thanks for looking.

An 8 page revision booklet linked to the Specification which guides students through the key points of knowledge required for the Weather and Climate Change part of the qualification as part of Paper 1. Can be used for any case study used. Thank you for looking.

This is the third lesson from Enquiry Question 1 of the Tectonics Unit. This lesson combs through key terminology whilst looking at the different types of plate boundary. Students review their understanding of keywords at the start and end. You may wish to use GeoActive Online 340 The Bam Earthquake, Iran 2003 factsheet and also Geofile Online Sept 2006 526 Hot Spots in Plate Tectonics - Evolution of a Theory to accompany this lesson. You can often download these for free online. Thanks for looking.

This is the first lesson from Enquiry Question 1 of the Tectonics Unit. This lesson revises the placing of plate boundaries and introduces students to some main case studies which will be followed up in subsequent lessons. Students will produce an annotated map. Thanks for looking. (There is an alternative more interactive Lesson 1 available but I had to change the task to be more covid friendly in the classroom.)
