Third lesson thrown together. A market-place activity recapping layers of the Earth and the 4 reasons behind plate movement.

Can be used to recap the water/hydrological cycle.Aimed at KS4 but could be used with other years as well.

This argumentative writing task should be used after having studied the validity of the Brandt Line (I used different maps from worldmapper website to help with this). It is aimed to help all abilities of Year 9 students.

Students will need an hour or maybe a little longer to complete this sheet. The website address is on the top of the sheet. You may want to adapt - please let me know if you can improve this! Aimed at yr7s who are doing a 'What is Britain?&' topic.

Just a quick quiz for yr12 to do first lesson back to see what they know from their independent study. Answers are in bold and for pictures, after the last picture.

There are lots of different ones on TES but I thought I would add my contribution to geography level descriptors.\n\nEach level is a mountain with skills on how to reach the peak. It's a bit cheesy.

Used for students to stand under when considering the future of Antarctica. The lesson is on the Discovering Antarctica website, with Sydney Suit and Laura Leaf.

Having played the infamous geography-staple The Trade Game in class, students should reflect on what they learnt by completing this homework task.

After discussing the reasons, this task (which has higher- and lower-attaining student versions) can be used to help students explain.The task is to help students practice clear explanations in their geography writing.This template could be applied to other topics.

Covers types of flow, types of energy, erosion, transportation (animations borrowed from someone else), and deposition, with links to relevant past exam questions.\nFirst 'dustbins&' link might not work - created on classtools.\nSecond link is &';sticky does rivers' which is obviously not my video!

*Ofsted rated outstanding for impact Feb 2015*Students should glue in the guide to gaining gorgeous geography book at the start of the academic year in the front of their books.When you wish to take in their books to mark, give them a book review form, and they can use the ideas from the boxes in the guide to fill in their sheets with 2xWWW and 2xEBI.This makes them take ownership and reflect and also saves you time when marking. Tried and tested.

The 3 posters should be displayed outside your classroom and students in groups should recreate these posters from memory.\nAimed at KS3 studying weather. Instructions are on powerpoint.\n\nPlease see my other resource on rainfall for alternative activity on 3 types of rainfall, including predicting weather by looking at the clouds - 'Can clouds predict weather?&'.

You need a copy of Interactions (new or old edition works!) to go with this resource. Students read each statement and decide whether it is true or false, based on the information from pg8-11 of the textbook. Must correct 'false&' statements and add further info to &';true' statements. Extension activities at bottom of the sheet.\n\nAimed at yr9. Leaving it as a cover activity - could give cover teacher answers so students can self-assess.

This is a lesson via powerpoint which explains a hot desert climate. This is a second lesson into deserts having done a general intro beforehand. You may wish to use the red Interactions book to support this lesson. \nThe lesson starts with students describing the location and by the end they should be able to explain too.\nThis powerpoint includes an excellent animation (which I cannot take credit for) which shows students the air flow around the Earth.

All instructions are on the powerpoint, but essentially 2 groups use Atlases to locate a range of physical features on a blank A3. Then the 2 maps get put outside the room and the groups get given another blank map and have to remember the other group's map. Tried today and yr7 went nuts for it.

Take students OUTSIDE to predict weather using the clouds guide. The lesson moves onto talking about 3 different types of rainfall and gets the students to guess how and why. I’m using this as an introduction to Flooding. Yr8 have just finished off Rivers and this is a bit of a bridging lesson. The powerpoint is not quite finished off (ie the title slide is not done properly) but the rest is done (although not background).

Level descriptors and the task are written on the sheet. I am setting this as a practise assessment for year 7 over the half term, but could be used as a real assessment for Ecosystems or Antarctic topic. They have spent two lessons looking at polar animal adaptations by researching on the internet and looking at clips from Blue Planet.

Involves using school corridors as 'river channels&' in practical element when students work out hydraulic radius.\nIncludes Manning&';s formula and breaks it down into easy speak - hopefully!\nAlso Bradshaw Model and relevant exam questions.\nPlus, links to Hjulstrom Curve websites.

Notes under slides. Essentially, you look at the things the prevent development and aid development, and then the students make their own snakes and ladders game from it.\nTotally ripped from the blue Basics book.\nAn extension is for them to write out the instructions and explain the meaning of the game.

Using this sheets, students explore different types of maps in their Atlases.\nBefore this activity, students should be aware of the 3 classifications of geography.\nI have used this successfully with yr7 students when introducing them to geography and maps. Can easily be adapted to fit whatever version of Atlas you have at your school.
